Title: Brownell Rhino?
Post by: BD on July 15, 2014, 08:47:00 AM
Anyone have experience with this string material? If so, what are your thoughts comparing it to 8190 and D97?

Thanks!!

You will love it.  Soft feel, pleasing appearance, yet very resistant to abrasion.  Doesn't budge when setting brace.  Quiet and energy efficient.  Love the stuff ever since I tried it with the string that came on a brand new Centaur.  I have Allen at LRU make all my strings with it now.  Was originally developed for crossbows.

Like Chuck said, Rhino is awesome!

It is the most stable, consistent material I have used.

I have very bad experience with XS2 ,stretching like gum !
I start to considered to take it to Rhino . Material for crossbow , is it dangerous for traditional bow ? How will affect on bow lifetime ?

I have all my new bow strings made from it now. Incredible material. I use the same sting builder as Centaur too...  Good stuff!

I've been shooting the Rhino string material for a few months and love it! Bikini strings made with the Rhino are my string of choice. You will be hard presses to find better strings.
