I can relate. I make all my strings out of dacron, with few exceptions. Started way back when dacron 50 was the big thing. Most of the bows I make are all wood bows. I like dacron because it is a bit heavier and a tad slower. I know that sounds crazy, but with a wood bow, I like a string that is less violent. With that said, Ive made endless loop stings for my glass lam recurves. The key to using a faster string is to have reenforced tips. I make all my tips out of antler, phinolic, glass,etc.. That way I can shoot what ever material I want.

Heck, I've have killed deer with sinew strings. It all about what you like and your ability to use what you have.
