Redeemed, Take your bow as is and draw it 1-2" more inches then normal....Did it get noisier?? You bet it did. When you go from Dacron to FF in effect that's what you are doing. Most folks see 5-7fps difference in the strings and you'll gain 3-4 fps per inch of draw at the same gr/lb. Every person has to decide what they want but effectively short drawing a bow to make it quieter isn't a good option IMO and that's exactly what you are doing with a Dacron string....O.L.

Unless Bob Lee has changed recently they do not recommend using FF on their bows.  You might email Rob Lee from their website and ask.

On the newer Bob Lee bows you can order either fast flight or dacron, your choice.

buckmaster is right. You can get them either way from the factory. Rob shoots a lowstretch string and recommended that to me.
I've got enough B50 to last me the rest of my life, and it performs fine for me. The boys will probably throw the rest of the spools in my casket when they plant me.
