i'm in need of a new bowstring but i'm unsure of which material to buy
i used to just buy FF strings but they don't always fit the bow well causing brace height problems. so i've made a few strings in recent months using 8190, I just picked it a random as it stood out for what ever reasons i can't even remember.
i feel that my fast flight strings shoot better than my DIY 8190 and i feel they tune and forgive a little more. but it could just be me, i don't really find it that easy to tell the difference between the strings.
my Questions:
- do you advise that i stick with 8190
- go back to fast flight or would you consider this to be a backwards move from 8190
- is 8125 really the same as FF and do you recommend it over FF
- is there any other material you recommend
- does anyone know which brands/materials are popular with top archers
extra info:
i shoot recurve, current lbs is 40+ but moving down to 30+ for winter and then going high again.
