strings for Black Widow
« on: February 28, 2015, 07:24:00 PM »
I am wanting to know who uses other strings rather than Black Widow strings and which ones work well. I have a PSA.

I have strings made by Allen Shafer (now TenRingStrings) on my PSAX and several other bows, and I am more than happy with them.
High quality, well made strings, at a reasonable price, and fast service.    :thumbsup:

ive had great luck with SBD strings as well as Allens strings, both are quieter than the heavier d97 that comes with widows.. ive had em on my PSA, PLV,both are wisper quiet,  and also on a couple piece PA's that were always a challenge to get quiet, tell your string builder what your goal in a string is, they can help you

I make my own strings for my PSA and am currently using Bohning Astroflight. I like 10strands and pad the loops to 14 strands.

Rick

I use Allen Shafer's strings on all my bows, including all the Widows I have had.  He makes a top notch string and gets it out to you within a couple of days. He does meticulous work.  It quiets them down and can't beat the extra FPS provided.

All of the above string makers build strings that far exceed the factory string,I have few PSA and all of them improved in speed shootability and quiteness.
