Just tinkering here, trying to make the ultimate beat-around bow. Will a fast flight string pulverize this bow?

My answer is an educated "guess", but without some modification to the limb tips, I would say a fast flight string would damage the limb tips.

I would imagine a "bow doctor" kind of guy could perform these modifications?

I imagine a bow doctor could put phenolic tips on the limbs and then the Nomad would be fast flight compatible.

Stick with the Dacron.

Bill, I like Dacron a lot, too. However, I have really found myself in a bad "tinker" mode. My wife thinks I have lost my maniacal mind..
