Beside reinforced limb tips, I think the riser‘s material strength also matters

KG archery has a well made high quality wood ILF riser that takes FF string, but at the same time it says no 8125G type of string.

For metal riser, even for cast riser on the cheap side, it may have limbs # restriction, but with modern ILF limbs, I can't think of any combination that doesn't take all kinda strings.

 

Thanks

I should have mentioned, I am looking as a WSN Forge + Riser, with medium length WNS Axiom Limbs.

 

I have the sf version of that riser, and was using a similar set of limbs. I used both d97 and 8190. Never tried 8125

While I would use modern materials on any bow that is rated for them, to be honest, without formal tuning, at 20 yards, you won't tell the difference.
The new rig you described will like a 14 strand D97 endless loop string, braced to about 8.5".

Viper1 out.

 

Ur combination is a very popular/well test combination that everyone uses, so absolutely no problem with that.

But from my own experience I can strongly recommend : Mybo Wave + Soul Archery/Kaya limbs (Blackflash fiber - wood or Everly in med, 30~35#)

Subjectively speaking, this set up is very pleasant to draw, even on a single front rod....the shock is very minimal / manageable

I run a Soul Archery factory made 8125G 16 strands string...so no high end stuff there.

Price point if not cheaper, will be on par with ur combination.

 

NICE

However, we don't get those, here.

The picture is the first time I have seen one, we miss out on some good stuff, here.

 

Thanks for the replies.

I wasn't looking for more velocity or flatter trajectory from a 34# target recurve :wink: , would one material be more likely to last longer? (given the same type of use)

 

Haha, same here, local shops stock SF/WNS n Hoyt mostly.

I bought most of my stuffs online from ASS UK with international shipping, if u know what u are after n buy them all in one or two shipment, the cost doesn't hurt that much.

But to be honest, I was gambling n mainly buying for color when I chose Mybo + Soul.... Luckily it turns out great.

 

To answer the original question, there is no good reason to use Dacron on a modern bow that doesn't require it. If the bow can handle a non-sretch material, then any of the various types on the market will be superior to Dacron in all respects except price.

 

Yup back to the string, to me:


B50/55 flemish always feel fatter n pitch less on my fingers when on short bow....but I uses them only due to bow required.

D97 flemish is the harshest feeling string on my fingers n ear...n I have to wax them every few months or I will see flays.

My current 8125G endless loop string...Never waxed them...n it's 4 months since switching from club bow...So durability wise...No issues at all.

 

N one very important aspect when choosing string ~ it's the color availability on the chosen material.

I definitely goes for the desired color before material, as I need to make sure I can see a clear string shadow/blur on my riser.

N a clear view of twist over the limbs for easy BH tuning (so no solid black string for me)

In my case, the factory Soul 8125G string with green n white twist works out perfect.

 

Always go modern material if the bow can handle it. Higher durability, vastly improved stability and a little more efficiency.

 

I've had a few bows that only liked Dacron but I use BCYX on all my current bows...old and new.

 

I have strings with servings made of various materials, 8125, 8125 G, D 97. On my trad bows I'm finding the BCY-X very durable, consistent, quiet & easy on the fingers.

I like dacron for hunting, or trad distances. Itsquiet, cheap, and easy on the bow. Never saw any provable difference at 20 yards either. Mark
