Title: String material
Post by: TheBigRedArcher on August 05, 2010, 10:48:00 PM
Hey all:

Not sure if this is in the right forum (mods please move it if necessary). I am wanting to learn to make  Flemish twist strings, I am planning on making my own jig (I found a plan for on on the web). My question is what string material should I use? All of my bows are built for fast flight but there are so many choices of strings I have no idea where to start.

Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks
TBRA

Lots of different opinions on string material. I like TS-1+. Its easy to work with, fast, quiet, and "feels" softer to me than some of the other low stretch materials.
