Just picked up a 2009 Quinn Comet recurve and was curious if I could put a D-97 or D-10 fast flite string on it safely? It's a great shooting little bow.

According to the replies, found by using the search function, you can.

I knew David Quinn, he designed his bows to use D-97 fast flight, why they have phenolic tips. Oh yeah, my name is Sam and I am a Quinaholic!

I like D10 better. It has less creep for me. My brace height stays the same all the time with it. My D97 string kept stretching all the time. I leave my bow strung all the time.

D10 without any doubts

Since it's made to accept "high performance" materials, you might try 8190.  It's the same material as Dynaflight (Dyneema), just a much higher grade than either one.  '97 is SK75, '10 is SK78, 8190 is SK90.

With the same diameter string (not strand count--they are all different diameter strands) the 8190 will have noticeably less stretch and creep, and be more durable.
