I just put a brown, mountain berry and tan on one of my bows!

 

adam -

I use white with black servings on target bows and (usually) brown with brown or black servings with on hunting bows.
Sorry, for me, it's a bow string, not a fashion statement.

Good for you....pat yourself on the back. Not everyone lives in your drab world. No reason to come off as a snob. Maybe i misjudged your statement but come on man! The guy likes color you don't, he wasn't making a fashion statement, bowstrings can be a work of art and an enjoyable past time for many to perfect the craft of string building and making something cool looking in the process.

 

I usually have my string match my underwear!!! Viper has no class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

I color code my strings and serving so I know how I made the string.

That can lead to some interesting color combinations.

I only make single color continuous loop strings. I keep them to single color because that is less ends where tension can be lost during constructions.

I have different colors for D79, 8125 and 8190. Plus different colors for each serving material and diameter.

Interesting idea.

 

I never really understood why anyone would want brightly colored strings on hunting bow. Anyway, I used to have them made in green/black, now get them from Kegan and they are all black, and I add black silencers, makes things simple and like the look.

 

I promise deer dont see a brightly colored string. I know a guy who hunts with his brightly colored target bow. He's never had an issue with killing his deer. Colors are to overthought in the deer woods.

 

Given that the animals i hunt cannot see color, i like a little splash of color on small things (fletching is another color splurge).

My favorite bowstring color-combo is red and blue (i refer to it as my "Superman" string!!!). The second string is usually purple and grey or white. I occasionally try others, but Superman is always in the rotation. The differentiating color schemes help me keep a pulse on how old the strings are...(in addition to overall string condition/wear).

Anyway, my man-card can handle colors other than the tacti-cool, "contractor" wannabe flavor of the week. I also don't have the "contractor essential" beard - another hint that i don't follow the herd... I've got enough jumps and rounds down range, just don't need the image....

Otherwise, most everything is anti-light-reflective and blends with local color temperatures.

EDIT: srry for the rant...

 

I would like my string to match my baby blue eyes . Seriously I like black and white, seems best for string blur.

 

I never mentioned deer or their ability to see colors.

It was meant exactly the way it sounded.
In most cases the guys who worry about "equipment" (and more so the color of equipment, etc), are the ones who can't shoot, and damn proud of it. A bow string is basically a toaster, it either works or it doesn't.

And btw - the reason I use white D97 on target bows is because it makes the string blur easier to see in varied light conditions and there are no (or fewer) pigments in it to bleed (and look like crap). The brown Dacron on "vintage" hunting bows is used to differentiate strings made with D97 from those made with Dacron. So, I only keep white D97 and brown Dacron on hand.

Back to the regularly scheduled program.
One is a hunting bow the other is a club day bow.

Nice color combo's!

 

What are you guys thinking? Risers only come in black for one reason...

Oh, wait, they don't...

 

Didn’t realize string colors would be so controversial. Thought this would be a nice friend discussion with lots of pictures posted.

 

What’s a good color combo for an OD green bow?

 

All BCY materials come in a OD Greene option

 

Black and orange look great on my Hoyt!

 

I like bright & colours. I colour code mine with the fletch and wraps of my arrows. There might be an element of a statement but also I know what's what.

I care not for the opinions of others on it, its a little thing but people like it, I've made tons of strings for others and mostly, barring crusty old bowhunters, they like flash

 

I recentlymade one with baby blue and lime green in one bundle and dark brown in the other bundle. I really liked how it turned out.

Love the OPs Flemish strings. Color adds a little flair to your equipment and using different colors per string can help you know how long that string has been on the bow.

 

Nat fancy but green and tan from Country Road Strings.

Straight pink strings are the way to go.

 

A strings a string hahah, also didn’t realize it was a traditional thread. Must be the koolaid I been drinking…

 

I got kicked out of a Facebook group for calling the guys that just had to flashy strings "posers." There is nothing wrong with having a nice color that compliments the bow, but these guys were all into the bling thing. Personally, I buy odd lots and discontinued string material for my string making. They only look bad until you get used to it.

 

I’m a fan of solid colors. Just for the fact that the stretch, or lack there of, in my mind is the same through out the string. I know that the dying process effects the properties of the string, so it seems logical that keeping all of it the same color would be more consistent. I usually use flo-orange with flo-orange serving everywhere but the center serving, where I do black. Recently swapped to an Elite EnKore bow and they use Winners Choice strings, and they’re the same idea, but in grey, and it looks great.

I’m a fan of mixing buckskin with other bright or drab colors. (hunting bows)

 

my go to colors are natural or white with flo yellow servings.

 

Flo orange and Flo green!
