A newbie question,,,

[Sangster]

What are Force ten strings ?
And how are they any different from a Boo custom ?
Just wondering

[Waif]

Force ten( Dyneema SK78)is a string material considered very high in strength.
Multiple materials are available and personal preference's affect what to use and in what amount of strands.
Boo would be the one to ask ,of course , about the variety of options in material and dimensions he can provide.
A Boo custom can involve force ten if he uses it. Then whatever material for serving.

We have the great fortune here,and within Excalibur of string-makers who's works are considered the best.
Combined with Boo's help in understanding and maintaining them, and our bows; he and his strings are highly regarded by their owners.

As said, Force 10 is a string material made by BCY that is Dyneema SK78 material with a tensile strength of about 108lbs/strand, which is about 8% stronger than their D97 material, which is Dyneema SK75 and has a tensile strength of about 100lbs/strand. Either material (or any material typically used) at our normal strand counts is WAY strong enough. When I spoke to BCY they told me they hoped it would be a "crossbow material" that would have less creep, but that was not the case...as most creep is due to excess wax coming out of the string.

Well I asked !
That went straight over my head ! Lol
Don says I'm at a years wait for a custom string ,,,,,,,,
Force 10's will be available soon !!!
Is there a great difference between the two?
Are the force 10s better than off the shelf Excal strings?

I personally like any custom made Flemish twist string over the factory strings, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with a factory string. There are about 5 custom string makers on this site (including Boo) and if you check out the Trading Post you can see examples of their stuff.
