If you had the option to order a new bow to be FF compatible.....would it be worth it, to you?

Let's say it was a $65 option.

If you think it's worth it, please tell me why. I'm ignorant in this matter.

Thanks.

Yes worth it , stronger limb tips- higher resale value if you go another direction

Yes , FF is a better string material than Dacron ( low streach , faster ) plus you would have the option of using any type of string you wanted , FF or Dacron .

Yes it is worth it for a new bow,the only bows I care to shoot with dacron is older recurves.For all other bows I like D97,the bow feels more solid and not springy,some bows it helps to cut down on handshock,I can shoot a lower brace height.And I don' shoot D97 for any speed increase that everyone talks about,the bow just feels better and more solid.

Way worth it-more choices of string type and better performance and resale. Of course those things don't mean anything to you-then it is not worth it.

I would not consider buying a bow that would not use modern strings.I would however want to know what cast an extra $65.

You mean someone is charging extra to make a bow FF compatible? Interesting. If I really wanted the bow, I'd probably pay for it. I like low stretch materials just for the fact they're low stretch. Those hot, humid August days, on the 3D course can cause dacron to creep quite a bit.

To me it is like a carmaker charging extra for a car that can use radial ply tires!

absolutely

BULLSh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you know! Find another bowyer, my opinion. Bjorn, it's more of a hassle to arder a truck without a/c and at and such, because manufacturting is setup for it! And you mean run- flat. How old are you? Ha, Ha, Good Shootin, to all!

I havn't herd of FF as a option.FF Comes standard on all of our bows.There is a wonderful advantage to FF.But I wouldnt pay $65.00 for it.It's only in the type of limb tip material.We us phenolic tip overlay, and there is no real cost or labor diffrents one way or there other.

It might not be that much of an issue for one piece bows but could be for take down models. For warranty purposes, some bowyers beef up their risers for fast flight. you can't make money long if you honor 100% money back guarantee and have bow risers crack. from a bowyer's point of view, why take the chance? If its just a matter of adding tip overlays, i'm confused as well about the cost increase. Sortof like charging $50 and up for actionboo core upgrades

SteveB · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:29:00 AM »

I would pass on that bow - should not be an added cost option. If the bow is not built well enough for FF, I don't want it.

James Wrenn · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2009, 09:20:00 AM »

I kind of agree with Steve.I have never heard of someone charging extra.Any new bow should be built well enough for any string you want to use or I would be concerned about the bowyer myself. jmo

Sounds like a Silvertip to me.

T Sunstone · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2009, 11:08:00 AM »

I believe he's asking hypothetical question not that a bow maker is charging that.

GMMAT · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2009, 12:09:00 PM »

It's not hypothetical.

Covey · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2009, 09:52:00 AM »

I would get the FF option it will be worth it!! and why do questions become a bow or bowyer bashing contest! give me a break!! "[dntthnk]"

Besides reinforced tips, what other considerations determine whether or not a bow is FF compatible?
