Safe or not ?
Thanks to all

Currently i using Rhino material and my friend warned me that he also using Rhino but for CO . And maybe is not safe for trad !
I love my bow and .....

As far as I know, the Force 10 is the exact same material as the old D10. It is fine for trad bows, but you do not need anywhere near 26-28 strands, like it says in that link (that many strands would be for a xbow, since that is what the material is marketed for now)! I have used D10 on my trad bows in the past, and it worked just fine.

Also, I don't see any reason the Rhino would not work fine either, as long as the string is constructed properly.

Maybey LBR will chime in. He seems to be the most knowledgable guy around when it comes to string material compodition.

D10 is what Pierre at SBD strings uses.

Josh with OliverStacy uses it as well.  Some of the best strings he has made for me in the past were 12 strand D10 padded to 14 in the loops.  Shoots great and no issues with the bows I have it on - going on 2 years now.

He is making mine with 12 strands and he puts 16 in the loops. I like it better than D-97. I had a couple of new bows that had Rhino strings,and they are really good as well.

You need to know if your tips are made for fast flight material,and I would think you could use which ever one you want.

Milan,
you should have no problem with FF on those beefed up tips. D10 is very good string material. 12 strands should be plenty strong.

[LBR]

If the bow is rated for high performance ("fast flight") strings, it will be fine.  Force 10 is the same material, just a different label.  It's 100% Dyneema.  For a 100% Dyneema material, I prefer 8125G, 8190 Universal, or 8190F.  My personal favorite is BCY-X.

Like D-10, now Force 10, Rhino use to be Ultra Cam.

All good material!

[bowfanatik]

Guys thank you all

God bless you
and Happy Easter

Give BCY a call...They will tell you that it is what they recommend for traditional bows.

God bless,

I'm not much help on skinny strings.  I've tried them off and on in various materials and on various bows over the last 20 or so years, and I can't find any real advantage to them.  For endless in general, I like BCY's 3D serving or Halo in .014 or .019.

I like Halo the best. My strings are not "skinny" (14 strand D97) and the .024 size makes my nock fit perfect!

Bisch

[bowfanatik]

Well skinny for my taste is 12 strand ...

D10 material

[LBR]

.014 or .019 Halo will work fine.

I have used 3 or 4 of the recommended combinations. All worked well for me. I shoot light, mid-40# bows and all shoot well with 8-strand D-10 from SBD, and shoot no worse with the thicker strings from LBR. All are ordered to fit standard GT nocks and all have fit perfectly. I don't think you can go wrong with these string-makers.

[bowfanatik]

I know they are good in string making . But is easy for me to make myself . Maybe to try skinny ,how many strands is recommended for 60# ?
