Who makes a good non-fast flight string?
Also, can/should I consider a skinny string with padded loops like I do with fast flight?
My bow is only 50# at 28"
We can fix you right up with a B55 string. I would suggest a 12 or 14 strand string for your 50# bow.

We have always offered options for both types of strings as well as the option of a continuos loop or flemish twist type string. Please feel free to call us with your questions and to check out our website.
"Who makes a good non-fast flight string?"
Endless or flemish? Either is pretty simple.
"Also, can/should I consider a skinny string with padded loops like I do with fast flight?"
I wouldn't suggest it. Low strand count strings will stretch more, creep more, and be less durable. Dacron will be the worst. 12-15 strands will work best. No reason to pad the loops.
I have dealt with Chad at Champion Bow Strings on many occasions and he has always made me a great string.
Chad x2 Great strings and service.
Question for string makers-there may be an obvious answer to this, but once a dacron string quits stretching, how is that different than a ff string that stretches very little at the beginning and has padded loops?
Thanks,
Doug
I've never known of dacron to quit strething completely...but even it it did, it retains a lot of elasticity. Unstring the bow, it retracts and has to settle back in when re-strung. The elasticity contributes to hand shock, and in some cases noise.
Dacron is much less durable, and harder to get a proper nock fit with heavy-weight bows (string is too fat) and/or small arrow nocks. There's also a performance difference--usually not huge, but it's there.
Thanks for the good word Bjorn and DB!
