How many strands in a string.

I am using B50 right now. The bow I made only turned out to be 80lbs  so i guess it workedout any way. It still strewched pretty good though. Marlin

adb:
On any bow >60#, I use nothing but FF. I find B50 way too stretchy. In fact, I can't even brace my 100# tri-lam with B50. With FF, it's a snap using push/pull.

I am going to get some of that before my next heavy bow. Hey I made a bodkin out of rebar the other day and shot a 2x4 with it. It only went a 1/2". Then I tried shooting a flat nosed shovel and the arrow broke right behind the socket. I guess a shovel would make pretty good armour.Marlin

Marlin:
My bodkin for a 1/2" arrow.

Marlin:
Hope this picture turns out better.
