What are the advantages, and disadvantages, of using Flemish strings?

Is this string usable on compound bows, also?
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson

They are quieter & smoother shooting. They produce a little slower arrow speed, but I personaly don't think the differance in apeed is worth it. I like the feel of the flemish string. Besides, they look more traditional. They do take alittle longer to break-in, due to the fact that they keep stretching longer than the other choices. Hope this helps.

I've never heard of flemich srings on compounds. I don't think it would be practical.

Also you can twist a flemish string more than an endless loop string when adjusting the brace height after it creeps a little.

Flemish strings also have the same amount of strands in the loops as the string (16 strands in string,16 strands in loop etc.)which would make it stronger. I also made some short FF flemish strings  for a compound of a friend and they worked fine.My 2 cents.  :goldtooth:    :goldtooth:
