If you could only choose one string maker, who wouod it be??
Steve McQueen known on here as Frank Bullit!
Chad = LBR
Oliverstacy. Josh builds the best strings I know of.
Absolutely nothing against some of the other string makers on TG,but if I needed someone to build me a string, I'd give Chad Weaver a call.....I know the kinda work he does.

Chad has mad me a few as well. They were top notch.
You will not find anyone on here say a bad thing one about oliverstacy.
Both top notch and both will help you out.
I'd recommend trying to twist your own! t's pretty simple and very relaxing to do. 3rivers sells a great dvd on it.
I may do that...keep the recommendations coming.

I have used Chad in the past, top notch work. But have started making my own. It is rewarding and fun.

Chad was great. Good guy too.
Another vote for Josh (aka Oliverstacy.) He makes a great string :thumbsup:
Josh(Oliverstacy) just built me a great string for my recurve.
+1 for mrpenquin.
Even if you buy one, it's a good idea to know how to make your own.
Hands down Josh (oliverstacy) I had a string I needed imediately, he stayed up through a work night making the ones I needed and I had them 2days after the call!
I agree with bentpole, Pierre Lucas SBD Strings
I would totally recommend myself, oo I mean yourself, lol. Like mrpenquin and Lost arra said, it is great to make your own, plus if you buy even a couple small rolls of material, they will last one feller forever, you figure about 8 bucks a roll of b-50, I found d-97 for 15 bucks, fast flight is expensive(30), but those rolls will be enough for you to learn and probably make about 20 more strings! I have made about 16 strings with those smaller rolls of b-50, and i still have plenty(15 strand strings). Either way best of luck!
Josh (Oliver Stacey here). Picked up one of his strings at K-Zoo for my MOAB, very pleased with it.
Im sure any of the above mentioned folks will make you a fine string.BUT If I had to have someone make me a string it would be Pierre and JP Lucas of SBD strings. :thumbsup:

Chad weaver
I'm not great yet but I'd still have to say myself.
Linda Brackenbury makes some very fine Flemish twist strings. Always got outstanding service from her.
Oliverstacy and SBD both make great strings.
Nuther vote for Oliverstacy. I picked him by chance out of all the fine string makers here and I haven't had to go any further!
Josh(Oliverstacy). Superb Strings!! Great Service!
I wanted to play with some new material D97, but didn't want to invest in spools to make up a string in a material I wasn't sure I'd like.
Steve McQueen (frank bullit)came to the rescue and made me up a 12 w/ padded loops 3 lay flemmish in Dyan 97 for my LaClair Grayling Spirit. Excellent string that brought the Grayling Spirit back to life from the FF that was on it.
Tell him what you need and he will make it happen. Quick turn also.

add another vote for Josh (Oliver Stacey) I bought a quiver from him and he made me up a string, still using it ! I will stick with Josh.
djanko, if your looking for a high performance ff string...you did not specify...then sbd ...check out their website and testimonials.

I agree, Steve is a great guy to deal with and makes great string's to! Jason
Can't beat Champion Custom bowstrings aka Chad Weaver. Another overlooked provider is Tollgate Bowhunting Supply. Both are top notch in the service department and both sponsors here.
I have seen some nice strings from 3Trees Custom Strings.
3trees, LBR, SBD, the quaility cant get any better on any of them, they are all great! I have Oliverstacy making me a 450+ to try now and by the looks of his pictures I am sure it will be right there with the others. Top of the line!
SBD
Add a new one...Steve(bearbowmanflemishstrings)...Have ordered three from him so far and his work is really nice!!
Lots of top-drawer string makers have been mentioned, but I just got a pair from SBD. As good as they come. I hope they're in business for years -- I'll sure be back for more! :readit: :thumbsup:
LBR ! :thumbsup:
Thanks folks--I really do appreciate it.
Chad
I make a good one, It is very easy to learn with right teacher or instructional video.
I'll add another vote for Chad -- His craftsmanship is top-notch, and he's truly a pleasure to do business with -- great strings, great service.
Robert DeMatteo in Grove City, OH makes a great Brownell AstroFlight String. RADhunter is his member name.

Another vote for SBD strings Pierre Lucas.Great strings and great people!
SBD strings by Pierre Lucas

They are in My Opinion the best strings iv used to date. Very neatly and accurately made, custom to your needs.
A quality string can really transform a bow, and bring out the most performance. Silent but deadly strings are top shelf!
I'll second Steve Smith (bearbowman) Steve does beautiful work.And a great guy also.
