Title: Something I learned today
Post by: Cottonwood on July 04, 2010, 05:43:00 PM
Well since I got my 60# Longbow, that really had not been shooting arrows all that well.  You know the kicking up, wabble, side to side etc.

Well today I was getting it out to take along to the MT Youth Bowhunting Camp this next week, and happen to notice the string... it was a Fast Flight string.  I thought, this bow is not for Fast Flight strings as the bow has flat tips instead of inlayed Phenolic's.

Well I got another string with the bow, and wouldn't you know it, its a B-50 Flemish bow string.

Well I changed them out, got the flemish string twisted, and shot a few arrows which were flying like they should be.  I gave a few more twist and am very happy with the accuracy improvement that I have gotten from the 2020's and 2413's with the 160 gr FP's.

Now my question is why the differance?

the arrows were underspined for the ff and flu great with b-50 cause its less efficient and requires less spine.
