Title: Who makes a good bow string?
Post by: Straitshot on May 08, 2007, 10:52:00 PM: I am in the market for a couple of strings. What TradGang sponsor makes and sells quality fast flight or similar strings?

Thanks, Louis

Louis, did you shoot a black widow bow awhile back (about 9 yrs. ago)? I went to a shoot in San Angelo on a Sunday, and it was just me and another shooter there. Thought it might have been you, BUT I have slept since then so can't remember much.

Take a look at primetimestrings.com for both endless loop and flemish strings made out of most materials, including TS+. Coincidentally, his name is Chad too. I've been more than pleased with the quality of product, customer service, and true custom nature of his strings (I want my serving an exact size, exact length, in an exact position on the string and he hits it perfect).

Post by: CJ5 on May 09, 2007, 10:08:00 PM: What JC said. The "primetime" strings I've bought have been absolutely perfect, exactly as ordered. While I've never used Champion strings, I've heard nothing but good things about them. I'd say it would be hard to go wrong with either.

Post by: TJ Jones on May 09, 2007, 10:30:00 PM: Ditto what JC said. Primetime makes an excellent string. TS+ is a great string material. Fast like DF 97 and quieter than DF 97.

Yes, and every other non-stretch string material.

Post by: WildmanSC on May 10, 2007, 11:44:00 AM: I bought some TS-1+ from 3 Rivers, had it shipped to my son and he built an endless loop string for me. When I received it I took it to the Archery Shop, strung my bow up to shoot and when the owner of the shop saw it he asked "Where did you get the Winners Choice string?" When I told him it was made by my son he was surprised that it wasn't a Winners Choice. My son makes excellent strings for friends and for his Dad!

Yup, at least on my bows (and quite a few other folks I know) it is.

Post by: bentpole on May 10, 2007, 07:46:00 PM: They're not sponsers here and they are two guys that have a Trad Shop as a hobby.But Scott from Pequest Valley Archery in New Jersey makes without a doubt the finest strings I have ever owned. Any kind and the best dingleberries too [cat whiskers].He can make his cat whiskers the size of your thumbnail if you want. They're down at the Baltimore shoot as I type.Let me know if you want their #.Also as far as TS-1 that material made a beleiver out of me.I have it on my Turkeycreek longbow.Before I swoar by B-50 until I shot TS-1.just my 2 cents.
