New String

[gwhuntr]

I have an Ibex with the standard string on it.
Been reading a lot of posts on other string makers.
Not really leaning towards a Flemish.
Not to dis anyone of them but I am looking for one that has minimal stretch.

Thanx,

Its mostly the material that causes the stretch, some materials are jus prone to it more than others. Pick the style string you like n get a couple strings made in the good material thats not goin to give much

Check out Boocustomstrings.com website. There's a tonne of information on there about strings and more. It'll help you tremendously.

You make strings correct? Do you have contact info other than here?

I can say with or without a special sight, Vixenmaster twists a great string,,, and for a very good price! I wouldn't use an endless loop string, the flemish twist string are much more pleasant to shoot, from any of the makers I have tried.

Stretch (elasticity) is definitely the caused by the material. But the bulk of the initial string creep (permanent elongation) is caused by the wax that the manufacturers blend into the strands.
A well made endless loop string will creep less than an equally made Flemish string.

I've talked to Danny recently & he said to stay with the standard string over the Flemish.
Just want to get the best longevity & performance.
Really like my Ibex, killed a doe & 9 pt with it this season.

I agree 100%, to this day the best material I have used has been BCY X. It takes about 40 or so shots to settle and I haven't had to adjust all season.

BCY X would be a good material for an Ibex, but I'm not a fan of blended materials on the Micro or Matrix lines. Vectran has very little or no elasticity and this can be hard on the bow. BCY-X is 17% Vectran.

I've purchased multiple Flemish strings from Keith Will (forum name nchunterkw).
I especially like how the tag ends of the Flemish strings fray after firing to create additional sound/vibration suppression and increase velocity.

BCY-X is fine on Micro/Matrix, I've built and sold several hundred and fired it personally for awhile with no bad results or reports . These are Real world Results.

To each his own....but with 2 widely different elasticities seems to me that 17% of that string will take on most of the stress. Lots of good 100% Dyneema options out there. Just one man's Real World opinion.

You use what you want and I'll use what I want ! Maybe you should actually try it before you give your opinion on it .

Keith your real world opinion works real well on my "THOR" after 30 approx. shots it has not moved ! and the serving still looks great and I picked up 2+ FPS over stock string
