You make a lot of sense David, and I appreciate your input.

I know I was grasping at straws, but I really would like to know if anyone has done any kind of testing, and what the results were.

I couldn't remember if it was silk or linen--thanks for the refresher. I believe it has as little, maybe less, stretch as any of the FF type materials, but nobody blames it for blowing up bows.

I guess I just ask for too much. I thought that surely, as much as people proclaim without a doubt the evils of "Fast Flight" on traditional bows (especially older ones), surely someone had actually bothered to verify something.....ANYTHING.....pertaining to their steadfast declarations. After reading some of the claims made by a few so-called "icons", I should have known better.

I realize people have had old bows "blow up" while using "Fast Flight" strings. I dare say many more have "blown up" with linen, silk, dacron, etc. The only thing I can honestly garner from that is that bows sometimes break.

I'm not going to look for a flight shooting site....math makes my brain itch and my bowels irritable.....
