Q: Would these be safe to use on my 70# martin vision longbow? (66 AMO length) I'm unsure if I could go an inch short to allow for some more stretch with the extra weight. Asked on 5/16/2013 by Justin from Fairbanks, AK Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes, this string can be used with your bow. You can allow an extra inch if you like, but I would recommend getting the correct length to start, and then twisting the string when it stretches.

Q: hey, i have a 55#, 58" recuve, and i bought a 58" string for it, i took me a little to realise that i probably need a smaller string than the bow is long, but does anybody know how many inches shorter the string needs to be, i was thinkin 4 inches, i also have a 40# 60" recurve also, any ideas? Asked on 5/10/2013 by David from Taylors, SC Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: IF you have a 58" recurve you will need a 54" bow string. 4" off the AMO length will give you the string length for a recurve. Answered on 5/13/2013 by Art from 3Rivers Archery A: U will need a 54'' string. Answered on 5/10/2013 by Anonymous

Q: I received this bowstring the exact length that I have ordered for my longbow. However, with that string lenght I find the brace height too short, resulting in poor arrow flight and the string hitting my wrist when I shoot. I have twisted the string to shorten it and to get a better brace height (more distance between the bow handle and the string)and it's much better. Is it ok to twist those strings to increase the brace height by one to two inches and next time I order a bowstring for that bow should I order one with one inch shorter than the one I have right now. Thanks Asked on 3/4/2013 by Andre from Quebec, Canada Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: As long as you know what you're doing, there shouldn't be a problem with re-twisting a bowstring. If you need another string, get one the length you need for your bow, as in the length your string is now, not the length you originally ordered. Answered on 3/12/2013 by Anonymous A: Yes, you can make these strings an inch or two shorter by twisting them. I would just recommend purchasing a shorter string next time. Answered on 3/5/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Yes İ think you have done the right thing and for next time one inch shorter string will be suitable to order. Answered on 3/4/2013 by Old Archer from Duzce- Turkey A: Twisting the string is the correct thing to do to set brace hight. But it sounds to me that your old string was very stretched . for a long bow measure it string cut to string cut and subtract 3inch If that mesurement is a half number like 58.5 order a 60inch . Hope This helped. Andy Answered on 3/4/2013 by Anonymous A: Your string should be at least 3 inches shorter than your bow length, i.e., a 64 inch longbow would have a 61 inch string. This will allow you to twist the string to achieve the correct brace height, typically 6 to 7 inches or a little more. If your present string is only 1 inch shorter than the bow, you may not be able to achieve the correct brace height. I suggest you twist the string as tight as you can without it knotting and try it on the bow. You may reach the minimum brace height for a while, until the B50 string stretches and you lose the brace height again. Your best solution is to get the correct length string, twist it to the maximum brace height, stretch it, reset to the middle of the recommended brace height, shoot it and adjust from there. Add silencers after the string is stretched out. Good luck and good shooting, Bob Answered on 3/4/2013 by Anonymous A: Yes twisting it to increase brace height is fine and next time just order a shorter string.

Q: I recently purchased the B50 Flemish string for my older Black Bear 40# recurve, as a backup. No complaints with the quality, but a real problem with the serving. I shoot Easton and Carbon Express arrows and the serving is way too thick to properly nock these arrows.Very difficult to release and causing poor arrow flight.Any suggestions other than putting on a new serving? Asked on 2/9/2013 by Hokie Ed from Virginia Beach, VA Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water. I would suggest, if you like the string to try some different nocks. I shoot mostly Gold Tip arrows and have no nock problems. However, there is a difference in the string diameters and if you are sold on the string you primarily use, I would just get another similar string. However, if you like the Flemish strings, which I love, I'd do some nock experimenting and find a nock that works great with Flemish strings. Then make the leap to using Flemish strings exclusively. That's what I did. Answered on 2/10/2013 by Anonymous A: I had a similar situation when I put a B50 Flemish string on my Bear Grizzly.. I used a coin to gently pry apart the ends of the arrow nock and it opened them up just enough to work well. I hope that helps. Sent from my iPad Answered on 2/9/2013 by LongbowShooter from Bloomington, IN A: I would get a new string. The Dacron B50 Nylon is an awesome choice. The only other choice you would have would be to file the nocks just a bit with a rat tail file to give the string just a bit more room. Answered on 2/9/2013 by Anonymous A: All of the nocks for carbon and alloy shafts have a much smaller throat that is designed to be used with the newer, smaller strings. Other than reserving the string, you can stretch out the throat of the nocks or you can sand them out. To stretch them, use a pot of hot water to soften the plastic nocks and then put them on the string before they cool. If you choose to sand them out make sure to take only as much material as you need. If you sand too much the nock may weaken too much and fail. Answered on 2/9/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
Q: I have a Bear Glass Powered-Grizzly that was given to me by my father and im pretty sure its about 20 plus years old. The markings are AMO 58" 50#. I've read that you have to have a string thats between 3"-5" shorter than the length of the bow. Just wanted some clarification before I spent money. Thanks. Asked on 2/3/2013 by T Know the answer? Answer this question 6 answers A: Send this to as many individuals as you can...there are only 89 signatures and they need 100,000 by 20 April 13 Answered on 3/22/2013 by Anonymous A: You will need a string that is made out of either B50 or Dacron and is 4" shorter than the length of the bow. Answered on 2/4/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Bear Grizzly is recurve, so 54" string is suitable to it s 58" AMO.Hoping to have helped... Answered on 2/3/2013 by Old Archer from Duzce- Turkey A: You need a 54 inch string, I have an old 58 inch grizzly given to me by my father as well and a 54 in string fits her perfect. If you need too you can always twist or untwist to get the desired brace height you want. Answered on 2/3/2013 by Anonymous A: I also have a 1978 Bear Grizzly, and I would recommend B-50 [Dacron] string material only for this bow. A 54 inch endless loop B-50 string will work. If you order a flemished B-50 string, you will be able to twist the string to adjust your brace height [distance between string and the throat of the grip]. With the flemish B-50 you will be ok with a 54 or 54 1/4 inch String.. The endless loop B-50 seems to work the best on my Grizzly. Hope this helps... and shoot straight.

Asked on 2/3/2013 by Tmoney Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: You will need to get a string that is 4" shorter than the bow and made out of either B50 or Dacron. This string will work well for that bow. Answered on 2/4/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery A: Been shooting recurves for around 40 years. You want the string to be about 2 to 3 iinches shorter that the amo. You want to achieve a 7 to 7 1/2 brace height on the bow without having to twist the string a great deal. A B-50 flemish string would be the best. I hope this helps. Answered on 2/3/2013 by Anonymous A: For a recurve, your string needs to be four inches shorter than the AMO......three inches typically for a long bow. So for your bow, you should order a 54" string. As the string stretches, you'll need to twist it up to maintain your preferred brace height. Cheers! Answered on 2/3/2013 by Anonymous A: My grizzly has identical markings and works well with a 54" B50. Answered on 2/3/2013 by Anonymous
Q: Can you get different colors? We have multiple bows in the house, and it would be handy to have different colored strings for different bows. Asked on 1/31/2013 by MarkW from Texas Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: i believe that brown and yellow are the colors available for this perticular string, however depending on the type of different strings u need, you maybe able to color code for your different bows but you may have to compromise with different brands. i love this string and would be hard pressed to switch unless (like you, i wanted specific colors). if color coding doesnt work, you could always differentiate them with different string silencers (fur, cat wiskers, etc.) for your different bows. another idea you may like is just adding colored string of yarn tied to your string just below the top loop. me personally, i mostly keep my strings on the bow (slid down the limb when not in use ofcourse) because ive ran into that same problem in the past. you will love this string if you get past the colors, i would highly recommend it to anyone that shoots often and needs a reliable string. i hope this helps, mike Answered on 2/11/2013 by mr. wilderness from benton, il A: No, we do not have different colors available for this string.
