Fast Flight string on Old bows = :(

[Orion]

Lots of bows break with dacron string as well, but folks generally don't announce those.  I've been shooting padded loop D-97 on my older bows, lots of Bear TDs in particular, without any problems at all.  

I think light carbon arrows are as much a cause of bow breakage as string type. Some folks don't pay attention to how much their arrows weigh, and/or intentionally shoot very light arrows.  That's almost like dry firing the bows.

In addition to more speed, low stretch strings also reduce hand shock/bow vibration at the end of the shot and just make bows more enjoyable to shoot.

Totally agree with ddave and Orion!

When the original Fast Flight came on the market, small carbons also arrived. Folks we're using using same number strand as Dacron. Guess what happened?

This is why Black Widow used 20 strands. It was a learning process, and we had nothing to compare with!

I'll say it again, strings don't break bows, people do.

That bow can be fixed!

Oh, almost forgot, we also had Super lite aluminum arrows on the market, too.
