I believe D97 is FF material.

I have a two tone A riser, Bubinga and Dymonwood, i think its from 2014, that i love. I also have a B riser and white tip limbs from early 2000, that i bought from a fella, that never even strung the bow, it was new! Only thing is the handle area is thinner, not liking that one as much for that reason.

Hi R.V.T.B,
Do you show us some pics of your new ones?
Would be happy to see the both A risers.

There are quite a few different types of string material i like WAY better than D97  ... Rhino is my favorite, but D-10 is good too, and i've heard great things about the BCY-X but haven't tried it yet..... 450 plus is an excellent soft string with very little stretch, but it doesn't wear as well as Rhino string by half.

I found D97 noisy. By the time I loaded the string with junk to quite it down I lost any benefit of the FF limbs. Now use skinny strings from SBD.

I tried a Fury string from TenRingStrings this past spring.  Love it!  Fast and quiet and he makes one of the best looking strings around.  I have since put them on all of my bows.

It has been a busy summer and I have been able to add several Bear Take downs to the harem, starting with the two tone A riser that I posted photos of earlier. Then I picked up a couple more.

Here is a nice 1974 A mag riser that I picked up this summer.

I was lucky enough to come across a great deal on a Gray futurewood A riser with #1 limbs.  I sold them to a friend and bought a new set of 45 pound #3 limbs.  I really like the looks of this riser.

I had a friend wanting to buy one of my Gray bows off of me.  I ended up finding a great deal on the exact same bow that he wanted and got it in.  As he had a good looking Bubinga A riser with #3 57 pound limbs, we just traded bows.

I know they should all be the same but I like the way an A handle fits my hand.  The gray futurewood looks very nice to me but, after a while, I have to stop and ask myself how many do I really need.

Here is a couple pictures of the new limbs I just finished for my A mag. I just had to try the green glass that was available. The limbs are #3's with Maple cores, black Phenolic fadeout wedges and black glass overlays.
