I need a new string for my RER LX 64" longbow. Any recommendations.
My go-to guy is Allen Shafer/ Ten-ring Bowstrings (he recently established his own brand, used to be with Lefties R Us). He builds gorgeous perfectly made hi-po strings with concierge style service and customization.
TG'er "LBR" who runs Champion Custom Bowstrings is also outstanding by reputation and who I would use if I didnt already have such a good thing going with Allen.
Both of them are TG Sponsors
X2 with Allen's strings-no disappointment there.
You have Rick also,very good string maker ( Rick B.... (like the famous small doll) )
X 2 on Rick. I've been very happy with his strings.
I wonder why we can't use his full name? He must have really pi$$ed someone off here. All though I couldn't see why he is a stand up guy.
I tried his and it just didn't work for me. Looking for other options. I have one that I got from Kevin before RER changed hands but am in need of a good backup.
I've had excellent service and great strings from Pierre at SBD, also a sponsor here. In fact, all of my FF strings are currently SBD. My old Shakespere and Bear K Mag wear B50 strings from one of my local buds.
Regardless of which maker you use, I recommend BCY-X for the material. Best all-around I've ever used. Quiet, durable, super stable.
