Hey David,I think BigJims strings are 14 or 16 strand D-97.I always change the strings on all my bows to a 8 strand D-10,they always shoot quieter and makes them a little more snappy.

The bigjim buffs I have or had shoot great with either string.

I use 18 strand fast flite plus. You should have no problem making them very quiet. I have used skinny strings and strings of other material and have no problem if you do, just have never noticed any advantage to them.

thanks, bigjim
