Who out there makes the best custom Flemish twist bowstrings? Have heard that Rod at Great Strings is no longer making them.

Look in the "Sponsors Classified". Bobby Graham ("bgram" is his handle). Heard great things about his strings and he's making me a couple now. Also Chad from Recurves.com, (LBR) has made me top quality strings. Can't go wrong with either.

Yep, I just got a string from Bobby a couple of days ago. Couldn't be happier.

I just got two strings from Bobby this past week. Very pleased with them and will be ordering all my strings from him in the future.

I am going to ask a dumb question here,
What's the benefit of a custom string compared to what the bow maker on a custom bow send you ?
I know in my wheel days, that was the first thing I did, change the string cables to custom.
I shoot a recurve, can a custom string be quieter ?
Faster ?

Got my two new "G Strings" from Bobby Graham today and he makes a top-notch string. He'll be doing all mine from now on.

I picked up a Mosshorn longbow at the Hickory NC shoot and it had a string on it that may as well have come off a banjo. Bobby built a G-Sting for it that turned a bargain bow into a really good bow. It picked up 10 FPS over the crummy stringthat was on it, as well as being quieter and canceling out practically all of the handshock. G-String, no question!

Chad or Bobby make very good strings. Have both and they are top notch.

I recently got a great string from Len Emmen, Coon Rapids, MN. He has an ad in Trad Bowhunter.
