Who uses SBD bow srtings?

Kevin,

I don't think you have to worry at all about the durability of SBD strings regardless of strand count. I've been shooting 6 strand D-97 strings for years on my longbow without any wear whatsoever. I expect nothing less from my new SBD 6 strand D-10 string. Of course you need to watch nicking your string with a sharp broadhead etc. If you havn't shot a "skinny" string before I think you'll like the performance and quiteness they provide for most bows. Best of Luck!

Thanks for the detailed opinion, Butchie. You're the second person today who has told me basically the same thing. I do believe I am talked in to giving SBD strings a try!

Best string out there, bar none. Only string I use on all of my bows that take modern strings.

I also sing the praises for SBD.

I use both the 6 and 8 strand SBD bowstrings. Use them on the recurves and a longbow. I like them well enough that is all I use.

I just started shooting a new SBD 8 strand. It is a well made string, seems significantly quieter on my longbow.

I had the pleasure of camping next to Pierre and his group at Denton Hill some weeks ago. You won't find a finer bunch of fellas anywhere.

Pierre's son had taken a huge Black Bear and I was invited to share some Bear Burgers with them. It was my first taste of Bear and it was excellent!

It turns out Pierre is a fan of short bows and I had just scored a Little Suckling from the classifieds. I didn't have the bow with me as the string was not very good. Pierre assured me he could take care of that!

When I got back from Denton I sent him the specs. This little bow is a 44" T/D so it doesn't exactly take a common string. Well, he nailed it and I received a couple strings that are perfect! The performance of the bow was increased so much it's hard to tell it's the same bow. I'm very happy.

Thanks Pierre for your excellent strings and going the extra to make these rare length strings for me.

Highly recommend. I have them on two Morrison bows and intend to try on my thunderheart,blacktail, black widow and jeffreys.

Should have my first in just a bit, anxious to try it on my Widow.

In the mean time I got two fast Hybrid longbows and I equipped them with SBD strings. Boy, they really smoke an arrow now! Both above the 200 fps at 9 GPP!
