I always ask the bowyers preference. On my Shrews I shoot 450+ on my Schafers I shoot Std.Fast Flight as well as my Stewart longbows. Big Ed

i,ve always used dacron B-50 never saw a need to try anything else. traditional to me means keeping it simple. dacron is easy to get and work with.no fancy calculations needed. 14-16 strand 3-ply for your avg hunting bow.never had one break

With the exception of one older bow all my recurves and longbows have D97.

Bobby Graham, he is a sponsor here. Go into the sponsor classifieds and you will find him and his strings. Great product and a fine person to deal with.

I'm using TS-1 on all my bows except the Groves. I find it quieter and added some "zip" to my arrow flight. I also have D97 strings but for now, I'm staying with TS-1.
