JeffK-

I'm not familiar with Newberry Strings other than I have heard of him.

Ultracam has a "standard" recommendation minimum of 16 strands, but I would think 18 would be more sufficient due to it's very small diameter. I do not know how many strands Mathews puts into their LX--everyone is different when it comes to this. I only know what we recommend. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
