Title: Fastflite vs B50
Post by: LeverActionman on June 09, 2012, 05:57:00 PM
Going to order new string for my samick sage and wanted to know if it is really worth the extra money and wear on my bow? What am I going to gain by going to a fastflite? Thanks for all the help!

In most cases yes.  Pick up a few fps.  Less handshock, and in some cases actually quieter.
  Wear on bow, i dont buy that theory.

What kind of bow do you have and is it Fastflight capable?

If the bow can handle fastflite, I say go with the fastflite.

There's not a big difference in price, and you'll probably be money ahead in the long run due to the increased durability.

I've never seen any proof or evidence that a properly made FF string causes any kind of extra wear on a bow.  I've shot the same bow for 15 years or more.  66@30.5" and it's never had a dacron string on it.
