How many still shoot Endless Loop Strings ??

[AdamH]

And can ya tell me why, Thanks A Bunch ...

[Bjorn]

I have some CL strings for my vintage bows in particular a '59 Kodiak I still shoot.  Naw, I can't tell you why-there is probably not any difference compared to Flemish; but a good friend made some for me and I am happy to use them.

[JimmyC]

They are all I shoot.  I personally find them,
Consistent and a bit more user friendly.  To my mind they tend to shoot quite too bit that's just me.:.

[LBR]

I tinker with them from time to time.  The reason is because I make and sell them, so I try to stay familiar with them.

I'm still partial to flemish, but a well made endless will work just fine.

For me I like an endless loop dacron on my older recurves over a flemish.I do like a flemish twist on my longbows that take a FF tpye string.I do shoot an endless loop Angel Majesty string on my Harrison HSS,it is a quiet string with a pair of cat whiskers.

[Gordon Jabben]

I still shoot dacron strings and the endless loop string lasts longer for me.

[carpenter]

I prefer them on my older Bear recurves,they shoot good and look right since that is what came on them originally.

[ozy clint]

i can make an endless loop string the exact length i want it 1st time every time.

[Uncle Buck]

in dacron B50 they are less than half the price of a good flemish string and they work just fine for me.

Those who are sticklers for accuracy, like Olympic archers, use endless loop strings.  I'm sure there is a reason you don't see flemish strings on Olympic bows.  Must have something to do with accuracy at a level I sure can't shoot.  :(

[Rob DiStefano]

ehhhhhhhhhh, they're all good - pick whatever type of bowstring makes you and yer bow(s) sing best.   :D

[Swamp Yankee]

I do because I'm too lazy to learn how to make a flemish string.

[KodiakMag]

I do and I use it because it's always worked so why change?

[Bill Carlsen]

I do....make my own.

[frank bullitt]

Cause I can!  :D  

Like Chad, make both for folks and the fact that materials have changed so much in the past 20 yrs!

When I started in the 70s, that was all most folks shot, too!

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Consistency!!!

[Montanawidower]

I do because Dan Toelke said so.     Truthfully I've shot both... its just personal preference.

[Javi]

Flemish Twist for me, I think it's what a longbow should have on it..

[vermonster13]

I make my own endless and that's what I shoot. Flemish is fine, just make the endless quicker and better on getting them exact.

I also make my own endless loop strings.  My dad taught me to make them about 60 years ago.  I've built a few flemish strings but just never liked them myself so have stuck with the old endless type.  I don't think they're "better" than flemish, but I just like them better myself.  My old string jig has seen hundreds of strings built on it.
