Hello guys.I have a 45 # Bear Minuteman that needs a new string, I have an old spool of green dacron material. How many strands do i need for the bow? thanks
I usually use 12 strands of B50 on my 45# Black Bear.
I've never used more than 12 strands on bows up to 70#.
12 strands on my 50# recurves,never a problem.
Thanks for the quick reply guys!
I'm with Bill-in fact, I'm kind of glad to hear someone else prefers lighter than usual strings. I'm currently making most of my strings from BCY B-500 and it has a slightly higher tensile strength than B-50 Brownell but 12 strands is standard for me on bows 65-71#. Grant
