Hey guys, I guess ill introduce myself, my name is Billy Storms I lived in Long Island all my life. I now live in the Bronx I just got married to the girl of my dreams. And my new father in-law is big into traditional archery. He let me shoot his black widow on a summer trip upstate NY. I really liked it and he said I did really well for myy first time. I was shooting and formed groups of arrows. I bought a new bow just to start off I bought a sasamick sage #45 62" long bow. I want to get a fast flight string for it. What do you guys recommend? I have some pictures of some of my first time shooting my bow and my father law was impressed.i was at 12 yards.

I would recommend shooting the crap out of the string that came with the Sage...by the time it is ready to replace you will have a better idea of what you want...lots of good string makers out there to chose from or you could learn to make your own

Welcome Billy, and nice shooting. The Sage is a good bow to learn on. Don't sweat the string just yet, have fun shooting.
Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here, it is an amazing place to learn.
WELCOME Billy :wavey: Nice shooting :archer2:
Welcome from Kentucky!
Welcome, Billy..You made a fine choice for your first bow...enjoy.
Welcome from Upstate!
Welcome aboard!
The string that comes with the Sage is pretty awful. For a 45# bow, I'd go with 16-18 strands of 8190, 12 strands of 8125, or 10-12 strands Dynaflight '97, or 16 strands of 452X. Padded loops if Flemish, but either one (Flemish or endless) will work. Ask for it to be served to fit the type nocks you use on your arrows--you don't want too tight or too loose.

Welcome to Trad gang, nice groups
Your father-in-law is right. That's good shooting. He's a pretty cool dude to let you take his BW and keep it for awhile, too.
Hey, if you want a new high performance string then I suggest you go for it. There are several good string makers on here so go on over to the sponsors' area and pick one. They will be able to tell ya exactly what you need in a string.
Welcome to the 'gang!
Thank you all for your input. And the warm welcoming!

Hello and Welcome Billy. I would recommend a new fast flight string. I just bought a Sage myself. It makes a world of difference. And yarn type string silencers. Just contact a string maker on our sight and tell him what you want. PM me if you need help. Bob
Welcome Billy, I know you've got your hands full with them new babies but cant wait to get you on some critters.
Thanks everyone. Haha yea Izzy I want to try it!
I was shooting over the past weekend for about an hr and a half. I think im getting better. (http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm388/billystorms24/20130707_175224.jpg)[/IMG]
