| I made a couple 12 strand Fast flight string 2 years ago. It was for a 66'' Aerotech and G3 Limbs with a 42 pound draw.
The advantage was that the string was very fast and my sight marks went up.
The disadvantages ( note plural) were:-
THe bow was a lot noisier , no matter how I tuned it still sounded with a real Bang when I released. This didn't really bother me but it did distract people on the shooting line.
The strings were unstable , I was forever having to readjust the string for bracing height ( it got to one point were it seemed I was adjusting after every end)
The strings also didn't last very long they seemed to have only 1/3 of the life of my normal 18 strand strings.
It's always interesting to try out different ideas but these days I don't make any strings for my recurve with less than 18 strands. |
