Which string for a shrew

Whats the fastest quietist string a fellow can get. I know if you put enough silencers on them they`ll quiet down but whats the best string and where do you get it?Thanks,RC

I made a 9 strand padded loop D97 for mine. It chronos the same speed as the string that came with it, yet seems a tad quieter.

Id recommend you get a 6 or 8 strand 450+ with padded loops. its the best iv found my my shrew's

I use Ron's string. I believe it is 8 strands of 450+.

Another vote for SBD strings. They are so fast and quiet it is SPOOKY.

Depending on the draw weight, I'd try 10-12 strands of 8125 or Dynaflight '97 (16-18 strands in the loops).

From the instruction sheet that comes with a new Shrew bow.

The string that comes with the bow is of 450+ material. This is a high performance string much like fast flight but with less noise. It is a very strong string being 150# per strand as opposed to a Dacron string which is 55# per strand. The 6 or 8 (depending on the bows weight) strand may look weak and flimsy but it is a 900 to 1200# string, the equivalent to an 18 strand Dacron. You may use any other type string you wish on your Shrew but the 450+ is what I like and recommend. If you use any other high performance string such as fast flight or other HP string material , the strings loops MUST be padded or doubled. If they are not and you experience any damage to your bow because the string loops are not padded, your warranty will be void.

I bought a used Lil Favorite.I can't imagine a better string than that, which comes on the bow.When I need another string I will be calling Ron.
