 Have I been strung along
Being fairly new to the sport I’m still building up my kit and sometimes find myself buying kit that is not quite right. I recently bought a new string on ebay to have as a spare, it was sold as being suitable for a 68” recurve.
The string I bought is a Winner’s Choice, 20 strands made from 8125 and is 66” long.
In order to get my normal bracing height of 22cm I need to put between 50 and 60 twists on this string
My riser is 25” & limbs are medium making a standard 68” bow (draw weight 36lb)
My question is, are 20 strands too many for the draw weight of my bow and is 50 - 60 twist too many for this string.
Should I just forget this string and get another shorter string, perhaps have a go at making my own? |
