Who makes the best D-97 padded loop strings for a Black Widow?
There's some guy out there by the name of Allen Shafer that does a darn good job. You won't find a nicer guy. I sent you a PM with his cell number.
Goes by A.S.......seriously, give Allen a call, he'll take care of you and have you a string in no time! :thumbsup:
I have not tried them all so can't say for sure. I like SBD strings a lot, but they are D-10 now.
Tim said it all, great service, great strings

Wow, it's bad word, huh?
There are better materials available then D 97. I prefer D10 and ultracam.
I've used Allen's and SBD's strings and they are both top shelf...!!!

I have to agree with Tim. Customer service is very important and he has the quality and best customer service out there. Won't buy from anyone else!!!
Who makes the best bow?
Who makes the best truck?
Who makes the best chainsaw?
What's the best haircolor on a woman?
Who makes the best boot?
Who makes the best bowstring?
Who makes the best flyrod?
Any of these will get you a boatload of opinions but that's all you're going to get.

Guy, You are so subtle Bro!!!!
Good Ultra cam strings can be purchased from GlennMcPherson. He owns or has owned Black Widows. Show Me strings goes by L82Hunt on here. I get all my strings from Glenn and they are really great.
BTW a good string is just that. I doubt that there is a best. But maybe. Who knows?
God bless you, Steve
Yeah, I think I'm getting in touch with my grouchy old fart side.
But, jumpin' jimminy on a pogo stick... I see so many of these, "what's the best..." questions that just don't have an answer.

Maybe he should have asked...."Who makes a GREAT string that I can rely on for fit and finish, durability, little stretch, great customer service and overall just getting the job done?"
Don't ya reckon that when most ask what is the "best" of something they are just asking for people to recommend those that they have had good experiences with so that they don't waste their money, effort and time? Kinda what TradGang is all about. Helpin' each other out a bit.

I have been shooting 12 strand D10 strings for Oliverstacey on my Widows and really like them.
Another vote for Josh or Oliverstacy.
Great product and service.

I like champion custom, but have only used his endless loop strings.
I had a bow for a little that came with oliver stacy strings and they were very well done.
There are great string makers that actually support TG right here.... Our own Allen Shafer of Lefties R Us, SBD, Championship, Oversilvercy & others.
Since I have tried SBD strings I have put one on every bow I own. Just a great string and great people to deal with .
The list will go on and on and I'm sure they are all good string makers, but, I make my own flemish splice strings. It's fun and they not only look and perform great, but,there's the satisfaction of making them myself and I feel they enhance my shooting experience too. Just my 2 cents worth....Horserod
Guy's right.Everyone will have a different opinion.Guy in case you're wondering the answers are.....

Allen Shafer through Lefties R Us (a sponsor here). All my bows have them. Excellent skinny strings with tie-on nocks (if you want them) and terrific customer service.

Rick makes all of my strings. :thumbsup:
Rick ****** (Ultracam) makes great strings, also have some of Chads (8196) and SBD (D10)strings. All are good, can't go wrong with any of them
i do. i'm the best. nobody can make bowstrings better than me. my strings are better than anyone else's strings on this planet and in this universe.
now doesn't the above sound ... stupid? :D
of course it does.
there is no "best" of anything. there's only the thing that works "best" for .... YOU.
how do you get that "best" bowstring? who will make the "best" string for you?
there is no substitute for hand's on trial (and error).
order out at least one from each trad gang string maker and see for yourself.
you are the only person who can tell what will work "best" for ... YOU. :saywhat: :cool:
Haven't purchased a string in years. I make my own padded skinny strings. It's what works for you that matters. I will tell you this you order from Braveheart you won't wait long to get your string. Just saying. Don
Oliverstacy has made 2 for me ! :thumbsup:
I think you'll be happy with Champion or SBD.
Every bow Ive built gets a string by Josh Sowerby. Oliver stacey strings. Have not had a problem one with them.
Skitch hit the nail on the head. I was looking for a great string with durability, knowlege of different bows, materials and customer service. I was looking for opinions about different string makers that are sponsers. I checked out there web sites and made a purchase. Thanks to all that gave there opinions. Its great that we can throw out a question and get alot of different feedback.
I have 10 strand SBD strings on both my bows and am very pleased with them.
