Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I would not hesitate to use this material again,it gives me great results.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I've only made up one string for a wooden bow using B-50. I used the endless loop style. Nice and light, helps the bow feel less "sluggish" when shooting.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

What I like about B-50 is that its cheap and its good. I know that Fast flight can offer improved performance but that doesn't take anything away from this material. If anything it starts to wear down if the string is not served.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This is excellent string material. Very consistent and easy to use. I've seen a complaint about not enough bees wax on it before but I have not seen that problem, even so that's easy to remedy. Works the same every time...

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

your video's online very helpful. I get shipment in three days, thats good for me.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Being new to making my own strings my biggest hurdle was getting use to the process and material. After 5 failures I finally learned how to do this, I can now make a string of the correct length the first time (usually). I also, bought and use the string jig, but also made my own. I find it better to add an extra inch to each end and weave a little longer. I suggest only one jig and then get use to it. It's very much an art to make a string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This string is very easy to sting.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

i cant say enough about brownell b-50; its the only string material ill use; because i care about and put alot of quality time in making my bows and i want the best for them.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Though I've been shooting and hunting for over 50 years I had never made a bowstring. I made my first
Flemish string with this B-50 in less than 45 minutes, serving and all! This string material is well waxed, twists well,and is low stretch. Every bow I own has a new string and this material is abrasion resistant and tough.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Twisted up a new string with it. Noticed a difference right away compared to my stock of older B-50. Brownell seems to be skimping on the wax coating on the string. Much harder to use compared with my older stuff. Didn't seem to want to stay together.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I recently started to twist my own flemish strings. Enjoy it a lot. The choice was B-50 as you can use it on all bows and comes in a variety of colors. Great product Great Price! Constructed a string for a 54# Recurve. Consistent and quite. Expect some stretch but it is managble.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

buyin' all my favorite colors

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I bought this for my first string making attempt. So far seems to be good stuff,
Just two observations.
1: the 1" is a huge role. I now have life time supply of Blue and Red B-50
2: Avoid the red. The red dye goes goes everywhere. It gets on your hands and on the bow.

Other than that seems to be a good product for a decent price

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

i make strings for all my bows and this product works well

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

flemmish strings for older longbows
good strength with minimal stretch

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I've used several colors of the B50 before trying the red. The red color is NOT colorfast. Beware! It rubs into other colors and will rub off on your hands, shirt, your bow, anything it touches. Terrible stuff. I'm sending my spool back. The local archery shop owner confirmed that all the red B50 he's ever used is not colorfast either. All the other colors are fine though and I DO highly recommend them.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Nice string for any wooden bow. If you do not need high performance and want a string that is easy on the health of your bow.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I am a beginner and have only began to use these products! The products are easy to use and are performing perfectly! I am impressed not only with the products that I have bought from 3Rivers Archery but the service personel are extremely informative and helpful. Thanks, Again Capt. Ron

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Used the material to construct Flemish bowstrings and it worked very well. I had to apply extra wax near the ends to help hold the strings while twisting but that is to be expected. good stuff.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Very good product... easy to work with but the wax that comes on it doesn't work so you will have to wax it with string wax before it is used or it won't stay together.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Great string material for wooden bows.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I make a lot of strings for traditional archers including myself. This string material really fits the bill.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I've been making my own strings now for over five years, and B-50 prewaxed material makes it easier to do. It takes me less than an hour to make a string and they turn out awesome. And with all the color choices, you can match your bow or your arrows. The durability is great, I made a string this spring, shot every week till fall, on league night and hunted with it this season. Great product.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

It was the first time for me making strings. Everything went well with the all the products I got from 3Rivers.

good product, I have no problem with it what so ever

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B50 for Bow strings and the Little Spinner for serving them.
The spinner takes a bit of practice but does an excellent job.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Since my sampling is small (4 colors in pound quantities), so, I cannot fully judge these materials, but I do notice significant differences in material diameters and degree of lubricant between different colors. The white was particularly thin with little lubricant. This may be deliberate to preserve the bright white color, but this makes a significant problem when making twisted bow strings.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

When I say "Professional" I make primitive archery equipment ([...]). I'm not a pro shooter.This stuff is wonderful but the roll of red I bought recently has a problem. The color comes off onto everything it touches. I need red for my business so I hope they will rectify this.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Speedy delivery and accurate order filling.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

bow strings

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I love this string for the fact that with a minimal amount of silencers you can have a whisper quiet bow. Also you can build and shoot this string on any Stick bow Unlike FF style matterials.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I use this material to place a nocking point on my recurve bow strings. I have shot hundreds of arrows and this material shows no signs of wear. It is also easier on the bow sting than the metal crip nocks.

Great Product

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I have been using this material for 25 years making bow strings I will continue to use it , as it is a consistant and trusted product. Colors last and bow strings are made with ease and are durable

Bowstrings

Colors sometimes bleed

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

good to work with. wants to seperate if you work the same section too much. but add a little wax and it reconditions very well. good to work with. once twist is corrected/obtained when making flemish strings, this stuff holds well. and looks good also.

Being prewaxed is a great benefit. I would also reccomend buying string makers wax. Together it makes twisting and holding much easier.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Still the bread and butter string material after all these years. It's cheap and safe for all bows, especially when starting to make your own strings. I find it's quieter than other Fast Flight types of material.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I always use Brownells string materials....haven´t tried anything else...why should I....?

I have just recently begun making my own strings. I like how easy the B-50 is to work with.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Great bow string material for the price.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

The making of Flemish strings is made very pleasant with the use of this stock. My advice is... if you use the "red" string, use a second color other than "white" for the second color. Red is difficult to keep from bleeding to a light string. It'd be better used with "black". The white ends up being more "pink". But... that's the nature of the beast with "red", no matter what material.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I'm an apprentice bowyer. B-50 twists a beautiful string for my first red oak longbow. I'm very pleased with all around performance.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B-50 is what we use for our Flemish bowstrings on all the traditional and primitive bows we make and sell. We've had only two issues with it: 1. the red can 'bleed' onto the wood bows, and 2. the white and yellow don't seem to be waxed as well as the other colors. All in all, though, a great product, and highly recommended.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This is all I use for flemish strings.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Nothing hidden here in creative product discription. Good solid string making material.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I haven't much to say. I made a string as soon as the product arrived. I do like the fact that it is already waxed. still have to wax the ends for the loops. there was some stretch but that is to be expected. Since this is my first time making strings I really do not know what to look for in regard to 'pros & cons'. But with that being said I, as a beginner, had no problem making a 14 strand, 2 bundle flemish string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I've only made a few strings with the B-50, but they've turned out great.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

My husband decided to make long bows and all that goes with them. He used the string to make flemish bow strings, the only thing he needed to do was wax the strings.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I am new to string making and this was the first material I used and I am happy with it. Be careful when mixing light and dark colors as they bleed into one color ( I used red and white and ended up with redish pink!) Lessons learned.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

My first attempt at string building. I like that it is waxed.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

The b-50 string material is a great product for beginners or expert

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Make string with 3 bundles to get round strings. Use 10 times bow poundage divided by 45 to get total number of B-50 strands. Divide total number of strands by 3, if not a whole number, then increase total number of strands until division by 3 equals a whole number.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I started making bow strings from Brownell B-50 bowstring material eight years ago and love it. I enjoy mixing colors and developing strings for all sizes and shapes of bows. The strings are quieter and I do not need silencers. I do not sacrifice much speed because of this. I have never had one break. The strings are so inexpensive that i sometimes throw good old strings away simply because I want a new color.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

For the do it yourself project to professional this is the best material for all your string needs.

I make simple bow strings, both Flemish twist and endless. Loop on one end, and use of a timber hitch on the other end.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

The heavy waxing make it easy to produce Flemish Twist strings even for beginners. Very good product.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Brownell B-50 bow string is a good product! l'm pleased with its performance. lt does stretch but there's no reason for concern. Just string your bow like you'd normally would, brace it correctly and draw your bow about 30 to 50 times to get it broke in. Then just unstring your bow, take one end of the string off and give it a few twists to compensate for the stretch, put it back on and your good to go. All thats left to do is put your serving string on and your nock point and let them fly!

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B-50, ... the tried and true string material! I have fast flight compatable bows, but I choose to shoot B-50 string material. B-50 is very quiet and gets the job done for about 1/4 the cost of fast flight string material.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Good string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Good stuff, well waxed.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This string worked perfectly for making a self-bow string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

There is no signifcant advantage for wood bows using high performance "modern" string materials.I n the 50 pound midrange of draw weight You are looking at 5 feet per second less (based on the fact that the noisier HP stings require silencers. note D 97 even caused one of my recurves limbs to ring after the shot) and 3 pounds less kinetic energy. Less than 3/8s drop at 20 yards. Old bows and new bows designed for non stretch string will not suffer limb fiber degragdation from the constant shock at the finish of each arrow shot from the bow. B 50 is elastic and greatly minimizes the shock of the shot cycle. B 50 requires a couple sessions of 40 to 50 arrows to complete its stretch -- then will require only a tightening twist now and them. B 50 is a good value if You make Your own Flemish string it will cost about 50 CENTS! so keeping a couple of shot in back up strings is what I do. Custom string colors will enhance the bow appearance also. Maintain the performance of your bow use B 50.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B-50 outperforms other non-FF materials in consistancy, low stretch, and does not bleed color like the other brand (especially black). I use it on all my recurve bows even if they are FF comaptable or not.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Ive made over 50 strings with this stuff and have never had a complaint, usually the comments are positive. That's why I bought more.

Product is as described.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I just learned how to make Flemish strings on a jig and ordered some B-50. Since it is pre-waxed, I found it held itself together great while I was trying to weave it together. I bought yellow and black and it made a great looking string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Every bow I make, I give the customer a Flemish string made with Brownell B-50 and I've never, in 3 years had a single customer gripe about the string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I use this product on my selfbows, recurves, and longbow that are not rated for fast flight materials. I have been using it for 30+ years. My father used it when he had an archery shop in the late 60's early 70's. He taught me how to make endless loop strings, later I learned how to do the flemish twist. It works great for both.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Easy to use and excellent deliery time.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

works good on bows less than 45 lbs, to much stretch for bows with more weight

Easy to use after it streatched out put a few twists to it and its bein shooting hundred of arrows every day and night rain or shine not bad for my first string can't wait till my order comes in so I can mix up my colors.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B 50 strings material is the standard for Flemish strings. I love the stuff.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

As a novice into the world of primitve archery I have found that when I ask for advcie on where to obtain equipment I get diected to 3Rivers. Well I ordered B-50 string material In black & Blue trying to create my own colors. I made a Flemish String for my sons bow and it works great. The second string I made was a Tillering Sting. It really stands up to the heavy pulls. Can't wait until I make my bow, and use the B-50 for my own bow string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I've made more Flemish and continuous loop strings than I can count using Brownell B-50 material. Its what traditional archers ask for the most. Great string material!

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Good product, nicely waxed, works well so far.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This stuff is great, it comes pre-waxed which really helps if you are making flemish strings.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I have used this product for many years with no problems Under describe yourself. I have been a bowyer for 18 yrs and have bowhunted since 1957.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Will work on any traditional bow ,stretches in quickly and stays put after it sets in, the brace height remains the same for a long time once achieved and is resistant to extreme temps, It is more forgiving than the modern less stretchable string material and I find thats important to the beginner and less experenced traditional archer for them to gain confidence in their ability and their bow.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Great string for the price. Nicely waxed, and enough to make over a dozen 12-strand strings. You can't beat it.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I love the way the B-50 is waxed up and ready to go. It's easy to work with and I have never had a string break.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

White material had little to no wax and would not twist up with other b-50 material

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Makes great Flemish spliced bowstrings. I let the strings strech over night on the bow. Sand mixing with the bowstring wax, in the nocks, will wear the string down. Just clean them when unstringing the bow.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I have used B-50 over 40 years now and have found the product to be uniform, well waxed to twist Flemish strings and with proper care will last years.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Good for broad bows and long bows and as a tilling string. Comes on a decent sized spindle, especially good for making many strings. Yellow and brown look smashing together. Works great for flemish knots and timber hitches. Keep it waxed and it will keep looking good and not fraying out. Must stretch it out before serving and stringing the bow. It does stretch a few inches so you need to compensate if you use a jig.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

ALL bows come with a limited number of shots in them. B-50 helps me to get them all. The speed in my equipment results from adjusting variables, at minimal cost to its overall integrity. In 50 plus years, it's never been a slight increase in speed that's been the focal point of my confidence as I blend into nature's realm...but it has often been the forgiving nature of my string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I'm extremely pleased with this product. For the price, it absoluteley can't be beat. I build my own bows in the old style of Pope, Young, Thompson, and Hill. My bows have one purpose- great hunting. So, naturally, I build alot to make sure I have the best. It delivers great performance without requiring special nocks or thicker servings for my fingers like Fast Flight does, and all my hunting bows have strings of B-50. People speak of stretch coming from B-50, but I've found that if the string is well made, it won't stretch.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I am a traditional archer, I make my own bows, and have made many for friends and family. I have been an archer for more than fifty years. In the past I depended on commercial bowstrings, about ten years ago, I realized I could not buy a bowstring that had any lasting power, with research I started making my own strings. B-50 string is the string I stuck with, I tried many others, but nothing satisfied my needs like this. My family and friends think I am the bowstring factory, that's alright with me I love to make them, and the main thing is I know they will last. I am sorry, I don't have anything that I don't like.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

My husband just made his first recurve bow, he chose to use this product and was very happy with it.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Great product and well waxed. Do the twist - It's easy.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

After using the Brownell B-50 string material to make a new Flemish string for my hunting recurve, I knew that I was on to something. I found it to be very forgiving and easy to work with. I like the fact that it is pre-waxed cause that makes it so much easier to work with. It is a great value for the price. Brownell's B-50 is a string material that would do well in any custom bowyers shop. The beginning archer, desiring to make their own equipment, would not go wrong with this product either. 3Rivers Archery is known for their great products and reliable service, so you can rest assured that they will only sell you the very best!

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

During the past 50 years; (that's how long I've been an Archer;) I have found no Bow-String more consistant or suited for making Longbow or Recurve Strings. As long as I have shot bows, B50 has proven to be reliable in all-round performance;i.e. for wooden bows of all descriptioins and has never caused damage to any of my bows; this contrary to other brands claiming the same properties as B50. B50 is available in most countries around the globe. That's why most serious Archers, world wide use it. I challenge any one, to name me a more sulitable product for serious Archers..

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I include a B-50 string with every bow I sell and can rest assured that the bow will hold up in all weather. Because B-50 is easier on nocks and limbs than the new trendy low stretch material.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This is a great product! I use it to make strings for my wooden selfbows, and longbows that I make. It is strong, easy to work with, and is water resistant, things which natural materials cannot do.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Great for hand twisted Flemish strings.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

3Rivers beat the competition hands-down. I compared prices and shipping and it was a no-brainer.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I have just started making my own bows and strings. The B-50 is known for being great, and I agree! It comes pre-waxed and you can use it right from the spool, but you might still want to wax the ends a little when doing flemish loops.
All in all, great material!

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I make strings for myself and friends. We all shoot long bows, recurves and wooden bows. This material works fine for us.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Well waxed, easy to work with, long lasting string.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I make a lot of strings and this is dependable in producing well balanced Flemish twists.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

Wish I would have known that it usually takes 2 different colors to make a string. Instead of buying another color, I just put some in some hot black Rit dye and bam! I got dark brown. Lost the wax in the process so I had to re-wax.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

This was my first time to make a longbow and string. It was so much fun I think I'll do it again. This product was very easy to work with and the bow shoots great.

I have used this string for years B-50 is a very durable string and very nice to work with. I use it for end serving as well as for the string itself. It is well waxed and holds twist and whip finish knot well. I've never had one come apart. ken

Excellent handling qualities...easy to twist with good amount of "stickiness." Worked so well I was able to create a useful string on the first try!

B-50 is great for building your own Flemish twist bowstrings, it never cuts into bow tip string grooves, its durable and inexpensive, you can mix match colors to custumize your strings. 3Rivers Archery is very fast at getting all products to me, thats the main reason I use 3Rivers Archery.

Although it's not as fast as some other string materials, it is quieter and easier on the fingers. Easy to work with, and durable, you do have to keep an eye on your brace height though. Still very nice to shoot.

Very good string; used it on my self long bows and recurve. Be sure to use extra wax with your flemish style bow string, particularly on the end loops.

Ordered for a Christmas present for husband. He has all colors and loves to make strings. Best thing I could have gave him.

I like the feel of a B-50 Dacron string more then the Fast Flight materials. It is easy on the bow limbs and fingers... Only drawback is that I would like to see more colors like olive and grey.

Have been building strings for 20 years now.The material is much the same. It is really nice to work with in fashioning flemish style strings, and the colors make it fun to select different combinations to work with. I have taught many others the art of string-making, using this material.

I built an endless loop string for my Excaliber Equnox crossbow using 32 stands B 50 , this set up propelled a 460 gr 2219 at 306 fps shot over an OELHER 33 . B 50 is quieter , which is not a factor with crossbows ( they just gona hear um when you shoot ) but bow vibration was less had real good broadhead flight , killed 2 old does on opening day , so I am satisfied , Now I have learned to build the
flemish type string , which I like better , still using the B 50

Good product and cheap.

We use this product for making flemish strings for self made Longbows. The material is really strong and long lasting. My only complaint is that the red and green colors blead in to white. However, the dark colors mixed with a lighter color ie: Black and Tan work very well.

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

I am already shooting tighter groups and my bow is considerably quieter thanks to this material. I will never shoot another factory string unless it is this material. not to mention this is the first and only string I have ever built... now all my friends want one... you have to try it!

Comments about Brownell B-50 Bow String Material:

B-50 has been the gold standard for flemish twist and continous strings for many years. It has the strength to stand up to heavy use, and is still fast and quiet.
