Whats your favorite string?

[snowplow]

I am going to pick up a new string for my new Helms Deep. I was going to get a SBD string because I hear good things. However, I figured I'd post up to see if there was some other good options to consider as well.

What do you guys think?

[BOWMARKS]

D97 Because my buddy that makes my strings likes it and seems to hold up very well.

Check out Rick ****** he makes a great strin . I like his serving better than the SBD.

SBD, Allen Shafer (lefties r us), and Rick. No need to look any further than that. Allen is the fastest and cheapest I believe

Whoever you choose, get two strings so you'll have a good backup.

You may want to try to make your own strings, it's not hard to make a quality string.

I really liked my SBD string, and the customer service was awesome. I'm currently shooting a BCY X string made by LBR and I'm liking it so far as well.

The one I made myself.

I really like Allen Shafer's 12 strand Rhino strings.  He does top notch work, gets string built and mailed quick.  You really can't beat his strings and service in my opinion.

Snowplow, PM sent.

"Best" string for me so far has been an SBD D-10. Allen and Rick have both made excellent strings for me as well, I just find the SBD has been the most quiet for my bow.

I like Ultra Cam and BCY-X have become my favorite of late.I have tried D97,8125,8190 and 450+,all have been great strings also.

Best material--hands-down, BCY-X.  Made from the highest grade Dyneema available.

How the string is made makes a big difference, as does personal preference.  Customer service is a biggie with me.

I've been making strings for myself and others for near 20 years now.  I've made more than 10,000 strings, probably less than 20,000, still learning.

Just going to pick up some strings made of BCY-X tomorrow from a friend...thanks Chad for extolling the virtues of that material...we ordered it based on that and you have been proven absolutely correct, it is a big step forward

Chad, I'm using 14 strands of 8190...

Appx how many of X will equal that as far as diameter???

Thanks always for your input !

[subsonic]

I use Allen Shafer Strings exclusively.  Really like the Rhino material as well.

I just got an SBD d10 after using d97 for years. Nice string its fast and quiet. I get a sweet slick release off cordavan. I would buy again.

[Deeter]

All I know is that is  Flemish twist b-50 from RMSgear.  Have their strings on all 3 of my bows.  They look good and work great for me.

[GUYZER]

The best for me is the ones I make flemish or endless loop on all my recurves and longbows. B50 SINCE 1979!!

X is almost the same diameter as 8190--a tiny bit larger.  Diameters can vary a tad depending on the color.
