Favorite String Color(s)?

[Matt S.]

Currently I use waxed linen (from Pyro supplies website). I'm happy with the quality but the price is pretty hefty, so I'm thinking of trying out some B-50 from 3Rivers. Seems like most people here use B-50, and seeing how it comes in multiple colors, I was wondering what your favorite color(s) were.
Should I get 2 or 3 1/4# spools of different colors or just one 1# spool of a single color? Also, do you serve your B-50 strings?

So far I'm leaning towards the Black, Dark Brown, White or Tan colors offered by 3Rivers. I'd love to hear what you prefer!

I like black and red (Sic 'em Dawgs!).

[Justin Snyder]

My first couple of spools were B-50 yellow and brown. A few years back I bought a roll of fast flight and make all my strings from it now. As long as a roll lasts I don't mind paying the extra.

I'm obviously behind the times, but FF is safe for our self bows?

Now I'm starting to wonder if I should stick with
linen (traditional, low stretch, waxed, but high cost)
B-50 (low initial cost, lots of colors, but more stretch) or
Fastflight (low stretch, better performance? and high cost)

 

Maybe I'll just stick to asking about favorite colors 

[PEARL DRUMS]

Black D10 is my favorite color B50..............

Thanks, I'll look into that!

My favorite combo so far is dark brown and tan (b-50) - the earthy colors look good on any bow.

I like to use colors that tie the bow, string, and arrows /feathers all together. And like the B-50 but I've only made about 30 strings so the choice of material may change in the future who knows.

Matt, the color red for some reason fades really bad in B-50, don't know why. The rest is all personal preference.

3 bundles of 5 strands of B-50. Red,yellow,&black. I call it my "coral snake string". God Bless

Yup, you are right there Pappy...I wish I had know the red bled so badly before I bought some a couple months ago, good tip.  (Looks horrible on a nice new yeller stick  )
