Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I started out making longbows and selfbows in youth draw weights for my daughter. Not wanting to get into making strings I opted to buy these and they are excellent, durable strings for the bows I've been making.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Have this on my longbow and have been enjoying it.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
These strings will stretch for a good while. If you do not shoot for long periods I recommend leaving the bow strung for a least a day. Retwist for proper length based on stretched measurement. I have been shooting these strings for over a year and have had good luck with them holding up under a lot of shooting. Be sure to work bow wax in on a regular basis.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
These are great strings I have four of them and really like them I use them for all my shooting with three of my bows a great string at a good price.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Had to put on a piece of duct tape to get the nock to fit.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Very limited stretch, serving is well wrapped, and loops are well braided
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
very nice string and the serving is great too.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Very nice construction. The only con is that the loops are a little big and the same size, I prefer the bottom loop to be smaller.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I liked these so much that I got one for my other recurve
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I strung my grandfather's bow that I inherited. I thought I would never string it because it is an antique, but decided to use it and it's a great add to the uniquiness of the old bow.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Gotta say I'm not a big fan of this string. Two weeks into it the serving (too small of diameter BTW) came unwound. So I bought replacement serving and a brand new tool for the occasion. Today I went to repair it and when I removed the old serving, one of the groups of strands snapped. Not good at all, but at least I wasn't shooting at the time.

Hunting and target shooting
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Definitely a better product than I expected. I love the look, feel and quality of this bowstring. It's worth more than what they ask for it. Good prices and great shots - that's 3 Rivers Archery quality!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have used many brands of strings, but find these to be the best. I will not use any other.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I put this string on a 43 year old recurve bow, shot about 200 arrows for practice, then went out and harvested a nice white tail. The string has a great look and outstanding performance and I experienced minimal stretch. I would definitely buy this product again.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have bought this string as a backup. When it arrived along with another string I bought I noticed their was no difference in the loop sizes, both were big. The other string was fine.After shooting it for some time, I put it away as my spare because I felt it would be ok. About three weeks ago I needed to use it on the bow. After approx. 250-300 arrows I noticed that the bottom loop was fraying. The original string was on the bow for 3 years before any problems, this string didn't make it 3 weeks!!!!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
It was all that I expected quality and added speed to my recurve. The staff at 3Rivers was very helpful when I called for information regarding this string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
The Flemish string is built sturdy and strong. Yes it does have some added zip which is what I wanted and that's what I got.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I purchased the flemish string to replace the original string that came with the new recurve I had just recently bought. I had to adjust the brace height of the bow to shoot properly for my style, so being able to twist the string to get the exact brace height without the string over twisting made it easy to do with this particular string. I have had a yearning to get back to enjoying archery the way I did when I was younger, so finding products and resources that help me do so is a gift in itself. I truly enjoy the short information presentations you have put together for your customers. Thank you.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Bought two for my 65# recurve and one for my 45# take-down. The heavy bow kept stretching and stretching it until I didn't know if it would stop. Finally set up a nocking point after two days of stretching and twisting. Then I unstrung the bow for a week and it shrunk about an inch, throwing off my nock point. Basically, I have to keep the bow strung or shoot it a dozen times then shorten the string again and check the nock point all over. Have had much better luck with the 45# bow. Stretched very little and stays stretched even when unstrung.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
it releases the arrow strater and faster then my other string
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I puchased this bow string for my recurve bow, because I broke two standard bow strings in a month and a half. This bow string has visually increased the speed of my arrows, and is very weather resistant. I would like to see a larger diameter serving. Most nocks don't allow the arrow to stay put once snapped on the string. However, I am planning on purchaing more of these same bow strings to keep on hand.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
The string is great but it is too thin for tred barta cedar arrows so I had to add serving for arrows to grip bowstring.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
They perform so well that I have order 6 of these strings now for all three of my bows.
Order delivered quickly.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
The bowstring began to unwind after tillering 1 longbow.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
These bow strings are very durable and long lasting. They also come in nice color combinations.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
use on my long bow
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great string for any Longbow. I will continue to buy these stings.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
best string that I have found over the past years.
3 Rivers has great service as always!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I had experimented with several types of strings before I used this string on my recurve bow. The main difference was that this string though deceptively thin is very high quality and does not stretch. The product is a very fast shooting and accurate bow with minimized hand shock.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Target Shooting, Hunting
Low stretch, easy brace height adjustment
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great string with a cool twist look. Just make sure your bow can handle it. I've seen these flemished strings eat nice bows. Check with the manufact. before putting one on your bow.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This is the only kind of String that I use on any of my bows: Tomahawk Diamond SS, 55#, Howard Hill 50#, Martin x-200 55#. I averge 75 arrows a day at minimum. I usually shoot at 35 yards. I have had no problems with these strings.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
at first this string stretched quite a bit
after about 80- 100 arrows it seems to be settling in finally
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I am pleased with the product an the help I got from the people in the Recurve Bow department.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This Flemish string has enough twist to allow the stock length to be adjusted in both directions. Brace height can be reasonably be raised or lowered. This is not always possible with many strings. Once the string was adjusted it required less than 100 shots to stretch to the point of stabilization.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
When I made my first bows, this is the string that I used. I have no regrets. I've had strings before that would wear down and make the whole bow look cheap, but these strings would never do that. They come well priced as far as professional quality strings go, and will certainly last a long time.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Overall a great product for the price.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I own two Bear recurves (50#, 25#) and this is the string I use for both. I like this string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Have had no problems after purchasing three or four such strings; except, I would like to see better serving used, something along the lines of Diamond serving.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
String arrived in an over protective box and shoots very well. I am ordering another for back-up since I know I can't do any better.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I use these strings on both of my custom takedown recurves and have found them to be of good quality. I have strings that I have shot for several years without any sign of wear!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Let me say I love 3Rivers and what they do for our passion. I purchased a "Flemish Fastflight" bow string. I like it thus far. It doesn't absorb vibration well, but it has picked up speed. It's throwing "Easton 2317" just fine. Thanks to all at 3Rivers. God bless.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have nine longbows when I received each one I ordered one of these strings as a back-up. I liked the performance so much I left them on my bows as the primary strings.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Bought for a self bow and I have one for my recurve. They are nice strings for what I do, target and hunt...
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
the loops were not wound tight enough and they were to big for a howard hill longbow

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I haven't used this string yet but I know that it will work fine. I haven't had any problems with anything that I have ordered from 3 Rivers Archery.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Added 2 pounds to my draw weight. The color is just right to take into the woods. Brace height can be adjusted by twisting or untwisting.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Nice string with better performance than dacron. However after getting the correct brace height, I only have about 3/4" of serving above the nock. It works but close to iffy. I put my own serving on the ends. Not enough a problem to make me cry though. Thanks.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Strung my 55# Browning recurve with it and it shoots great! Looks great, performs well, and I like the sound of the stretch.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I am just using this string on my longbow....as I have a Dalaa recurve.....and use the sting DAS recommends on it....good string.....great company to do business with....
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Everything I was expecting. Easy to maintain and durable. Does not stretch out much making it much easier to keep consistent stringing of your bows.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Best string I have ever used, and at a price bar none.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
It Works!! I would use it again!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
It's probably a flaw in my technique but the nocks seem to come right off this string while I'm drawing causing two dry-firings of my bow. So I'm back to using the string that came with the bow and it works fine. Also the Samick website contends that FF strings are compatable with the Volcano but 3Rivers disagrees.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Well pleased with this product, so much I ordered a second one for a back up.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I bought one of these for my Longbow and one of my recurves, but I've only used it on the longbow, so far. It does a great job! It stretched a little after I first put it on, but about a month later and it hasn't stretched since. The string is thicker and stronger than the one I've previously used. I don't really have any complaints with it, it's pretty durable and good looking.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I'm just a regular hunter who changed a dacron string to FF. I'm no expert on strings but I'm perfectly satisfied with my order, and it is what it claims to be. Have been using the string several months now and have had no problems.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This is a great product, I will purchase again, but so good not for a while.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Put it on a used KM that I found online. Gainsville bow, so it is OK for FastFlight. Length perfect out of package and pre-twisted just fine. Dug out some vintage 60's Saunders helicopter looking rubber silencers, set nocking point, shot in the cold for a half hour in back yard, killed a deer with it by 5:00 that night! String noise pretty low for FastFlight! Just needs larger diameter center serving so arrow nock will fit tighter and not slip down so easy.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This string is great for traditional archers. Not fancy, but durable and economic.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I use a short powerful bow with specially constructed ends on the limbs..I am a tradition archer..using only two bows since 1961...A Bear Grizzly from 1968 to 2006, and now a Bear Super Mag...which has already taken 4 of my 60 archery kills, since 1961. These Strings are a perfect match for the bow, and actually enhance the speed and effectiveness of the bow. It is hard to find great quality strings in this age, and these strings fill the bill perfectly. They are strong, they fit properly, and the last. They are exactly what an old woodsman like me needs. I can shoot and hunt in peace and security, knowing that these strings fill my need.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
These strings are great. I bought one for my recurve and was concerned it might be loud on the release but it was quiet.The string didn't stretch so I didn't have to fool with the nocking point once I found the right spot. Great string, I will buy more in the future.

Was having problems with tuning. Bought one of these strings, and it helped a bunch. They look and perform great.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This product will be used on my Martin Longbow.
Great bowstring! Not much more to be said than that!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
The string fit the bow perfectly, but the Serving was way too thin. My arrow would literally fall straight down the string. I tried three style of nocks, with same results. I called 3Rivers and was told to wrap it in dental floss, told it was no big deal. I did that, but it wore out really quickly (30-ish shots). So I ended up having to re-serve it right away. Not really happy. Especially with follow up call where I was basically told I didn't know what I was talking about. I had three guys with 15+ years experience tuning bows all tell me the same thing, "The serving is too thin."
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This is a durable, well put together string. It is fast and quiet. Great buy.
Fast reliable delivery. Best service I've ever had from an archery site.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
The speed of delivery, and great quality of the product made for a truly enjoyable experience. Keep up the good work! As an old long bow shooter, (both me and the bow), It was with great delight that I discovered you folks. The local bow shop guy directed me to your web site after showing me his stock of compound, mechanized contraptions lacking only a teliscopic sight! Long live the long bow! Kindest Regards, Mike (Long Draw) J[...]
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Bought string for my hoyt dorado recurve. It looks good and shot in very fast with minimal stretch. Seem to be faster than my stock string but can't verify that.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have never used the Flemish strings before on my Bear Super Kodiak recurve. But when I went to purchase the Bear replacement strings, 3Rivers was out of them. The very helpful man at the desk asked me to try the Flemish strings, and I'm very glad he did. I like the performance of them for sure, but the look of them is also wonderful!!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I use is on my 70# longbow and found the string to be extremely fast.
Delivery was prompt and packaged nicely
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Picked up a little speed with this string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This string really picked up the speed of my 70's model 45# Grizzly. Night and day difference highly recomend.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great strings. I guess the best review is to say that when I got a new bow, I didn't look anywhere else but to this string for my needs.
Prompt delivery, product in good condition. 3Rivers staff is helpful as always. Thats part of why I keep coming back.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I use this string on a 67" meare heath replica self bow that I built out of maple (I did add phoenilic tips for use with a Fast Flight string). The string works great and looks even better. Great Product. I would buy again without hesitation. Best String I Have Ever Used.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This string worked great on my custom made recurve.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
There was a marked difference (better) in arrow flight and speed.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Put it on for the R100 and it worked great!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I like the string much more than my former string. I wont lie and say that I know all kinds of stuff about traditional equipment, I'm a recent convert from compounds. But I like the string and would recomend it to others. Its quieter than the last one I had and seems to just fit.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
This is used on a 52" Wing recurve for small game, deer, and boar. It has a little more twang than my previous strings, and I haven't been able to get it totally quiet.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I really like these strings, doesnt take forever to break them in.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Good quality string. Wish you could get more color combinations. Stretch was normal. Customer Service/Technical Service Reps are the BEST. Fast Shipping also.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Brownell's Fast Flight Plus is one of the finest Bow strings I have ever used. It stretched a little more than I expected, but it is still well within tolerance. After over one hundred shots it still looks and shoots very good.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Holds up and wears very well. Last a long time.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I put this string on my longbow about three weeks ago and two days ago a strand on the lower loop broke. I replaced it with the bow's original string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have hunted with a longbow for years and practice 4 to 5 times a week. After the stretch break in period which was only a couple of practice sessions the string performs extremely well. After 1000 arrows there is no sign of any wear. I will purchase this string again in the future.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I got this to replace the string supplied with my bow, and I'm thrilled with it. It did come a bit too short, but after loosening the twist a bit it fits perfectly. The serving is very durable; I shoot somewhere around 50 to 60 arrows a day, and it's still in fine condition after 2 or 3 weeks, almost no signs of any fraying. All told, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good bowstring.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I shoot quite a bit during the week and my bows get plenty of use. I only use the Flemish bowstrings on all of my traditional bows. I find the hold up to the severe use I give my bows better than any other type of string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I have used these strings on 3 of my longbows. They never quit stretching.They continued to stretch for 8 months.Diameter of string too small.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I like this string, add some beaver balls and you are ready.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
These strings are lightning fast. Excellent quality at a great price!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
THESE FLEMISHED STRINGS ARE ROCKET LAUNCHERS!!
WELL MADE AND A GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE!!
JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH STRETCH,IT'S NECESSARY TO RETWIST STRING AFTER INTIAL INSTALLATION FOR DESIRED BRACE HEIGHT.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I truly love this string, it helped me quiet-down my bow, I get better arrow flight and faster arrow flight using this string. The one thing I noticed immediately is its limited stretch time, this string was finished stretching in about 2 days, the dacron stings that I have used were still stretching about a week after I began using them. I will always use Fast Flight from now on.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Well made bowstring.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I was having difficulty finding Fast Flight strings for my odd sized Bear recurve {55 AMO} Cheyenne, these strings are perfect fit and of superior quality. I don't think you can make or buy any better bow string. Make sure you have re-inforced bow tips before using the fastflight style string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Fast delivery time. Well packaged.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I installed the Brownell's Fast Flight Plus string on my Dan Quillian Traditions recurve with Musk Ox string silencers. My bow is quieter and performs better than when it was new!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
It is all about quality first, service second and a fair market price third. I received all of these as expected.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great string but I wish it was a hair thicker. I have to bite some of my nocks down to keep them from falling off string.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Purchased as a backup string for my Reflex Traditions recurve. Seems to be just the ticket.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:

Great bowstrings.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Great string...shoot almost everyday and it holds up well.
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
Maybe my old string was worn out... Anyway, these replacement strings are very quick and smooth. The serving that came on the strings didn't quite cover my nocking point and protect from rubbing my bow arm, but that is easy enough to fix. I got two of them and set them up identically for the upcoming season. At this price you can't lose!
Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
My grandson has this string on his Kodiak Magnum. And with him it takes a beating gets ignored, only gets waxed when I remind him, but this string is still like new and with that bow shoots very well.

Comments about Flemish Bowstrings Brownell's Fast Flight Plus:
I'm probably one of the few longbow enthusiasts with no interest in hunting. For me, its a mental/physical challenge. Mastering a bow is, of course, very important for a hunter, but its far, far, more. Kind of a kyudo/zen type of "moving meditation". I'm at the very beginning of a very interesting journey.
