Title: Dyneema Specs for reference 'bout bowstrings
Post by: ItzaKen on March 26, 2022, 11:30:28 AM
Hi All!

I've poured through so many posts, here and on diff sites, 'bout bowstring material for my Great Northern Fireball, to come; my older Bush Bow w/out tip overlays; and my John Fazio/Sovereign Archery Trident recurve.

I currently use B55, but have had some very considerate input from others on what to use.

In my search for comparisons of materials, I came across this info on materials and ropes.  After reading, I realized there's some confusion in the posts I've been reading and some of the ideas that "more is better", when it comes to how a string behaves and holds up.

Perhaps such has been posted before, so forgive me; but I believe this will give a lens/view into the diff materials and change the conversations and give us new insights.  Lemme know what you think, please!
