Title: How Many Strands?
Post by: WPAtrapper on October 14, 2010, 08:57:00 PM
I need to order a B-50 string for my wifes new to her Pearson Colt. The bow is 62", 30#@28". My question is how many strands are needed in the string? 14 strands is the lowest I see on 3rivers website which seems overkill to me.

I'm looking for an endless loop.

You can go with 10 strands easily & possibly 8 strands but I'd stick with 10 strands because you'll have to have the center serving a little thick in the nock area to have a good connection with most nocks.

Check out Josh (Oliverstacey) in the sponsors section - makes a really good string at a fair price.

Why not go with a Flemish twist string?
