Title: A shoutout to DanielB89
Post by: Longtoke on July 18, 2016, 12:41:00 PM
I asked him a few questions here on TG about string material and silencers and took his suggestions. When the string first came it seemed to me a bit short and braced a bit high, I have little experience with the new modern string materials, but was  a little worried as  i have heard that the bcy-x doesn't stretch much if at all.

I should have just started shooting instead of worrying like an old house wife because after a few rounds in the back yard the string settled into the perfect 6 1/4" brace I wanted . I am very happy with this string and I am also loving the wool felt scallop silencers.

Thanks Daniel, it was a pleasure doing business with you!

I have a few of his strings and they are very well made.  High quality strings!

He makes a fair string but he talks funny and smells bad.   :p  

This thread reminded me I need to tell him how I want my next string made up.    :wavey:

I've had the same thing happen, string measured short out of the package, etc. But nothing to worry about, they settle in right where they should. Daniel does great work!  I have both his D97 and BCY-X strings. He sure has a lot of colors to choose from too!

Clay,

thank you for your kind words.  I'm not sure what "standard" is, but I always send my strings to where they will be short because I measure them under pressure.  So while they are in transit, they will settle.  Much like your bow strings will do if you leave one unstrung for a while, and then when you put the string on your bow, it settles in to the length you ordered.  That way it eliminates a little "break in" time.  In theory, when it is broken in, it SHOULD be at the exact length you ordered.  

Thank you again for your order and trust.  

Daniel

I ordered a string from him a while back for my Samick and it's great. I liked it so much I ordered another one for my wife's bow over the weekend.
