      A:

      If is a newer model than you can use that string.

      A:

      If Bear says your new Kodiak is rated for a Fast Flight string that is the one. It is always safe to go with the Flemish string made from B-50. The B-50 will also make less string noise on your bow but it stretches more and for longer.

  • Q:

    I have a Samick Journey (identical to sage but 2 in longer,64"). Which length string should I use?

      A:

      The rule of thumb is to order a string 4 inches shorter for a recurve and 3 inches shorter for a longbow. The 3Rivers web page has a good how to clip on setting up a new bow and it includes a demo on string length.

      A:

      General rule is 4" shorter than the length of the bow for a recurve. 3" shorter than the length of the bow for a longbow. Your length would be 60".

      I would use a 60'' B-50 flemish.

      A:

      Hi,
      Normally for recurve bows, 4'' less than bow lenght is suitable for the string lenght which makes 60'' for your Samick Jurney. I already had Samick bows and have the impression that you better use Dacron b50 string to be in the safe side.
      Hope to be in the assistance.

  • Q:

    I have a Wing's Archery Red Wing Hunter 58", 55#, would this kind of string work on this bow? The bow is more of a reflex bow.

      You would want to use a non-fast flight string for this bow.

      Answered on 5/4/2013 by Giyum from Boise, ID
    • Staff Reviewer

      A:

      If it is a Wing then you will need to use a string made out of either B50 or Dacron. I recommend taking a look at 4243x and 1515x.

      A:

      Check with your manufacturer first to make sure your bow is rated for a fast
      flight string, if its not- don't use one!

       I have a 62" Samick Sage 45# bow and on mine I got a little stretch to the point where I wish I'd ordered an inch shorter.

      A:

      General rule is 4" less than your bow length on a recurve and 3" less on a longbow. Flemish or a fastflight either, should work on the Hoyt Buffalo. You should be good to go !!!!

      A:

      That Fast Flight string should work great on your Buffalo. You will find a great video on the 3R's web sight that talks about string length. The rule of thumb is 4" shorter than bow length for recurve and 3" shorter for longbow.

      Yes, this string will work on your bow. The Buffalo typically takes a string that is 3" shorter.

  • Q:

    If the string nock is set up by 3 Rivers, will I have to change it after the string has stretched in the first few shooting sessions?

      A:

      no, when the string is broke in just give the strings a few twists back to orignal brace height.

      A:

      Dear friend, if you are buying the bow and it s string nock is set by 3 Rivers, İ dont think it will be necessary to make any change. But in case you buy just the string for a bow that you have , you better set the nock yourself.

      A:

      You might have to adjust it a little bit after you shot it a few times Fast flight does not stretch that much.

  • Q:

    How much will the stretching of the string affect the nocking point?

      A:

      I have been shooting for over 50 years and never had a nocking point move because of string stretch
       . I just twist the string till I get my desired brace height , and even though I  check the nocking point i t never seems to move.

      A:

        More than I would have thought. Mine moved about 3/8-1/2" after time..  After I got it moved back into the right spot it turns out I'm not that bad of a shot. I check it every few times I use the bow and especially when I change the limbs to a different draw weight. Hope this helps.

      A:

      After the first few dozen shots and the first wax application it's been
      minimal. I measure the brace height after I string my bow and then after
      the first 30 shots or so and there's never more than 1/8" difference (I do
      this very often as I frequently switch between my 35 and 50 lb limbs)

      not much at all sine FF doesn't stretch that much.
       You can try putting the string on and pull it couple time and setting a nock point isn't bad idea.

      A:

      If it is brand new It is going to stretch about an inch. I would get most of the stretching you of it before you put a string nock on the string.

      A:

      It will stretch some but Fast Flight does not stretch much. Shoot the string for a few long sessions before you tune to set your nocking point.

  • Q:

    How should this string be stored when not in use and it has silencers on it?
    Asked on 4/16/2013 by Zach

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Assuming the string has been broken in (stretched) and tuned to the bow it should be stored with the two ends secured together so it does not untwist. It can be hung from a nail or placed in a baggie. As long as it is not exposed to high heat or lots of direct sun it should be ready to go 20 years from now. If this is the string used on the bow follow the bow manufacturers suggestions concerning if the bow should be stored strung or unstrung.

      A:

      You can wrap this string up the same way that it was sent to you and set it some place safe. Or you can leave it on the bow unstrung if it is a one piece bow.

      Do not run Fastflight on older bows you want the B-50 dacron strings. 63''

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      For a recurve built prior to the year 2000, subtract 4" from your recurves
      AMO length. For a bow built after the year 2000 subtract 3" from your
      recurves AMO length and 3" from your longbows AMO length.
      The majority of time, this will be the correct length. If your brace
      height is not quite right, you may twist or untwist the string to bring the
      brace heigth to the correct spec. advice from Ye Old Archery Shop

      A:

      Those Flemish bow strings stretch about 1" over about 10 days. Buy according to those measurements and you will get a fine string.

      A:

      That is a shorter bow and I am assuming the poundage is not that great.by twisting the string counter clock wise you can easily make up any string stretch that occurs.

      A:

      This string normally stretches 1/8" to 1/4". Since it is a flemish string you can easily twist it to get it back to the correct length. I would recommend sticking with the 48" string. It is better to twist the string to make it shorter than to untwist the string to make it longer.

      Answered on 1/30/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
    • A:

      The fast flight plus string do not stretch much at all, get the string length correct for your bow, if it does need shortening to a brace height of your liking just put a few twists in the string
