[QUOTE="oso, post: 154316, member: 4822"] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I've been toying with a no name recurve for the last five months. I made a 16 strand FF string [/ QUOTE ] I would be concerned about the fast flight string. Is the bow designed for it? Many newer recurves have beefed up limb tips to deal with the extra stress imposed by the minimal stretch fast flight. If it is not designed for it, you may crack a limb or have a limb tip failure. You may be aware of this already, I am just concerned for safety. Have fun with your recurve! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Sambo, you would be correct! If the bow was not made for a fastflight string I would change it back to dacron. I had a fellow archer that thought that he could get away with it. The riser cracked just at the inside the web of his hand and when he let the arrow fly the bow went back to its original shape! It shoved that sliver of laminate right through the web of his hand from the top into the center of his hand! Needless to say he never did it again. I agree with JJ on this one, you really need to have a great broadhead on the business end of your arrow. [/QUOTE]
