What's a heavier string? Let's say 1 inch of a 12 strand ff string for example? What's going to weigh more, 1 inch of 12 strands with no twists or 1 inch of 12 strands with 4 or 5 twists? In my mind when you un twist the 4 or 5 twists in that 1 inch of string, it'll be longer than 1 inch meaning more material and more weight. I know it may or may not be that big of difference....everyone has done their own testing but there are so many variables in testing its hard to say....but a lighter string will mean a faster arrow.  But if you want an easier time tuning a flemish is the way to go. Heavier strings will absorb noise and so will the twists. I personally like to work to perfect some things so that's why I like wood arrows and endless strings because once you get them right there isn't anything better...that's just my opinion.

...i had to buy a endless loop string from a local proshop so i could shoot.  set it up how my other string was and gave it time to settle. fired 3 arrows at 10 yds and broke the nock off one and all 3 were touching feathers. will work until my new strings come in

"will work until my new strings come in"        [/b]

shot pretty good with it this weekend but it just kept stretching. would get in braced good then shoot half a 3d course and just to twiste it mid way to keep the brace hieght.  but ya shot pretty good with that string on it

was the string fiber dacron?  it's either that and/or poor construction that gave ya stretching fits.

Where is Rob's tutorial on making endless loop strings?

Any help appreciated!
