All my bows carry SBD D10,s and I absolutely love em,What do you use on your longbows? and why.

You will get a few different opinions.Best to check with the bowyer so you have no problems.

All mine wear D97 or D10. I personally don't care for B50.

B-50.........why, because I like it and I have lots and I can make my own strings.....and I like it! It works fine!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Ron, do you like B 50 ?   :laughing:  

I use B50 and other low stretch stuff . I don't find a huge diference to be honest.
With the B50 i shoot a bare string and I'll add some silencers to the low stretch.
I mainly use B50 because I have so much of it lying around.

Ron,I bet you like B50 ! LOL.It seams with all my other bows there was a real differance between B50,D97 and then D10.with heavily padded loops the D10 was so superior in every way.Just me.

This is pretty easy.  I always use B-50 (or should I say B-50, B-50, B-50, B-50) because I've never heard of the other stuff!
