Galaxy Ember / Black Hunter String - What are you using?
« on: July 07, 2021, 06:08:01 PM »
Now that these bows have been out for some time, I'm curious as to what strings (material type, strand count, etc.) you are using?

On my #55 recurve Blk. Hunter I'am using a Mountain Muffler X99 20 strand string with dyna puffs.

I’ve got a 50# Black Hunter longbow (it’s actually becoming a “Camo Hunter” right now—all pulled apart for repainting).

Every review I read/watched said the supplied string was junk, so I picked up a string from Big Jim while waiting for mine to arrive…I think it’s a B55, but really not sure. I don’t know much about strings.

D97 from TTT Strings
It's not about the kill but the experience.

I am using the string that came with my Galaxy Ember and it's not junk at all.

I just picked up a Black Hunter Stealth about 3 weeks ago and thenstring that came with it is all right. I put one of my Black Widow strings on it and it preforms better. 

Not saying the string that came with it is anything wrong but the BW string just feels/preforms better.

These bows are available at a wide variety of price points - I'd say the string is one of the things sacrificed on the lower price point ones.  Impressed with the bow so far, just wandering of string types that are being used.  Good answers so far - thanks!

Definitely could be. Like I said, didn’t use my string, so can’t attest to that.

I have both the longbow and recurve versions.  The longbow still sports the factory string and I find nothing wrong with it.  I replaced the string on the recurve with a D97 flemish twist and honestly see no difference.

Yep I agree with that, I bought a cheap one that came equipped with barn rope...  :biglaugh:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Ten Ring, it's been on there for a while and if I remember correctly the material is Rampage, which may not be available anymore.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.
