WHAT'S YOUR STRING COLOR PREFERENCE

Post by paulaboutform »

I'm just curious, what string colour combination would you like to see? It's all very personal of course. I love the good old brown/green, red/black, purple/black,
flo green/red.......so many choices. What do y'all wanna see? :mrgreen:

"Camo" seems to be the most popular choice of my customers. Usually they want to match the camo on the bow. And by using 3 colors for the string, I can usually come up with something that matches well.

As for me, I'm like Mike and Dan....my bow wears whatever I have lying around or some new design I tried or something. I was recently reading through Exodus and all the talk about the Tabernacle and how everything was Purple, Scarlet and Blue with Gold mixed in got me thinking so I made up that string :lol:

I prefer the camo colours. My personal favourite is dark green and copper. I used to go with blue and orange to support my favourite MLB team, but I found that the lighter colours like orange show the dirt and dust that accumulates on the string better than dark colours.

I have two preferances..... flo green and black and flo orange a black. A little easier for my old eyes to see when I've layed the bow bown and then glance around to locate it again after some time with the Binocular up to my eyes.

Flo orange and black is my favorite. It reminds me of Halloween and that makes me think hunting season....

Halloween colors or red and black. Gene, I learned to never set my bow on the ground as I "lost" it for about twenty heart stopping seconds. :lol: Damn good cammo on these bows.
