Anybody here used this string material? What do you think?

I've just twisted up 25 strings with it (15 to go), but already I'm starting to like this stuff--working with it anyway. I probably never would have tried it, but got a request so..........here I am. I haven't made myself a string with it yet, but plan on it when I get time. Figure it will shoot just like a Dyna '97, since it's the same material, but who knows. I was thinking it would be a lot smaller than '97 (it's not) and harder to work with (it's not--might even be a little easier to work with). What are your thoughts?

I've got it on a couple of my longbows in endless strings. First tried it on my FITA bow when I saw a lot of the archers at the NAA Nationals were shooting it. It feels somewhat softer on my fingers, but that might just be my imagination. I know O.L. Adcock puts it on all his bows.

I have been shooting it for about 7 months now. Made up a 16 strand, nice speed and feels good in the hand also.

I don't think it's your imagination Floxter--something I hadn't thought of though. The smaller strands being more flexible probably do have a somewhat softer, or less stiff, feel. The strings I am making now are for Bob Morrison--he likes 14 strands , 18 in the loops. When I make one for myself, I'll probably go with 18 strands, 21 or 22 in the loops. I still don't think there will be an performance difference, but I have been wrong before.
