OK guys, you have talked me into making strings,needed just a little nudging, 1/2 of my meager bow collection,10, is not fast flight compatible, the other 1/2 is. What string material is best for the older BW's, Wings, shakespears,etc., and which for the Quinns, Tradtech Pinacle. I was thinking D-97 for the new bows, and good old B-50 for the older ones. In masters of the barebows, Dean Torges suggested 450, a little noiser, but much more durable. All feedback apreciated, if there are any previous threads on this it would help. Thanks guys.
