Put 100+ arrows thru this thing and it's still stretching. Bought a 58" for my 62" longbow and brace keeps shrinking to under 7 inches. When will it stop? I hate to overtwist a string. Maybe should have bought a 57". When it's at the correct brace height this string shoots really nice, and quiet. Also had to wax the string ends a lot to keep the cut ends from fraying and lay flat against the string.

        Comments about B-50 Flemish Twist Bow String:

        String fit well on my recurve. I was particularly pleased that the serving gave me a good fit for my carbon arrows. The serving on the previous string I purchased was too thick for my carbon nocks. Also very little stretch so far.

                  Comments about B-50 Flemish Twist Bow String:

                  I bought this as a replacement / spare for the factory Flemish string that came with my Bear Super Kodiak. After installing the string and letting it settle for a few days I took it out and shot it. Within about 20 shots the string started to unwrap on the ends where its woven back in on itself. It also stretched enough to change the brace height 2" on my bow. I let it settle in some more, removed it, twisted it in some to raise the brace height, waxed it, and put it away for its life as a spare string.

                  I also got a Fast Flight Flemish string, that one is much better quality than this one. I'd recommend going with that string if your bow is rated for one.

                  Service and delivery comments:

                  Service from 3 Rivers was outstanding as usual, order shipped within 48 hours and was at my doorstep two days later.

                    I make my own Flemish Bow Strings for my English Long Bow. This was my first premade string I bought. I've shot at least 200 times with it and I've been impressed. I'm no pro archer but this is a great bow string..so far.

                            i was looking for a string that would work for my short osage bow, looking at the web site i saw long bow lengths that where way too long. yet ive been using short recurve strings on this bow for years and they work just fine. i wasnt sure if id be able to find a string for it without having it custom made, which as you know can take a while. thanks for carrying all the gear that you do for the bow hunters/archers like me who need quality gear at a fair price, and for saving me time and hassle of not having to track daown a string maker. mike

                              Just a good quality string for my mid 70's Ben Pearson Gamester. Shot it a couple times, put a nock point on it and it has worked great ever since. Just have to trim a random strand here and there when it comes loose near the loops but that is with all flemish strings.
