Strand Count for 100# ?

(1/10) > >>

Del the cat:
I'm using Angel Majesty string, but I guess it's pretty much the same as mast of the decent modern Fast Flite type strings. I was thinking prob' 12 or 14?
My Elm Warbow is near finished
Any advice... if you're nice to me I'll post some pics later :laugh:

14 is overkill, but safe.  I use 14 strands of FF for 120# so you should be fine.

Del the cat:
Ta, just trying to get a feel for it. Can't remember what I used on the 90# I built... spose I could check on t'blog ;D
I've just posted a full draw pic of the Elm bow at full draw on the blog, it's just about made the 100#, looks pretty good.

I often use 18 strands of D97 FF. I know... it's waaaay overbuilt, but I find it much more comfy on my fingers while shooting to use a bigger string.

Look forward to checking out your elm bow Del. I always use at least 18 strands ff for 100#, I hate little strings, double serving or not.
