Thunderstick owners
« on: February 16, 2010, 05:31:00 PM »
I love Jims TS-1 strings that he gives with his bows.They are very soft and quiet.My only complaint is it seems like they never stop stretching.Does anybody use a different material? Has anybody used B-50? Thanks,George

I took off the TS1 that came on my MOAB and replaced it with my own Scottish twist B-50. I always work my B-50 with a piece of leather as soon as its strung and get the major stretch out of it right now.

I have a thunderstick mag and use eight strands of 8125 with padded loops to 16 strand with no problems. If your string keeps stretching leave your bow strung for a couple of days.

A little stretch new with my "mag", but I leave mine strung as well and after the initial stretch it stops and is very stable.

I had a Mag for which I made a 14-strand Flemish string with 8125--quiet, no creep, no complaints.

I put a 450+ on my MOAB and it was awesome!!  Performed very well and was easy to get quiet.

I have a Thunder Stick Mag and a MOAB. I use B-50 strings on both of them with great results.

I use an 8125 10 strand on my MOAB. Works really well. No complaints with jims strings, this is just what I use on all my bows.

Try a D-97 10 strand from Oliverstacey. Your bow will thank you!
Just one more step please!
