Title: string materials; what do you shoot?
Post by: CJC on April 01, 2008, 06:50:00 AM

with all of the new products out there i was wondering what people are shooting?  bcy vs. brownell,  how many strands and what type of serving?  also do you pad the loops?
i shoot bcy 8125 14 strands with padded loops and halo serving out of my 43 # recurve.

I personally shoot 8 strands of 450+ with padded loops and Diamondback serving.

I curently use 12 strand 8125 with the loops padded to 18. But I think I am going to change back to my 10 strand TS-1 with the loops padded to 14. I like the TS-1 better.

I like to shoot 12 strands of D97 with .024 halo on all my bows.Dacron on a couple of older recurves.

TS-1 is the best material I have found by far!!!  :thumbsup:  Joseph

Another vote for TS-1, hands down best (quietest and still good speed) on all the bows I've put it on. Same with halo serving.

TS-1 if'n the bow can handle it.

Dynaflight '97 is my first choice, with 8125 coming in a pretty close second.  62XS for the serving, with Halo coming in second.  Strand count depends on the bow.  Loops padded to 18 strands.

12 strand D-97 with 6 additional strands in the loops and braided serving material that matches the nocks for the arrows.
