Ron, do you like B 50 ? :laughing:

I use B50 and other low stretch stuff . I don't find a huge diference to be honest.
With the B50 i shoot a bare string and I'll add some silencers to the low stretch.
I mainly use B50 because I have so much of it lying around.

Ron,I bet you like B50 ! LOL.It seams with all my other bows there was a real differance between B50,D97 and then D10.with heavily padded loops the D10 was so superior in every way.Just me.

This is pretty easy. I always use B-50 (or should I say B-50, B-50, B-50, B-50) because I've never heard of the other stuff!

I use D97,8125 and 450+ on all my longbows.The only bows I use B50 on are a couple of older vintage recurves.

Skinny 450+. I see a big difference in feel and a little speed (not big deal) vs B-50 on HH bows

Is there other string material besides B-50? :dunno:

Sorry that is all I ever used, but have friends that use other material on their HH and they love it.

As stated best to check with the bowyer and see.

I use D97 on my longobows but my limbs for the Blacktail recurve were built to use B50.
