WillS:
But how many strands of Cinnamon did you use?

Just lay a few more strands under the serving until it feels comfortable. 18 strand strings will rob your cast like crazy!

In my (humble) opinion, I don't think 18 strands is by any means a rope. Brownell themselves recommend 18 - 20 strands for a general string (not a warbow string) for fast flight plus. But I don't flight shoot or anything...

Um, lemme see. The company that SELLS the string tells you to use lotsa string. Hmm.
Kinda reminds me of the cell companies that sell you minutes on their phones but then have a 31 step phone tree that you gotta go thru and eleven-teen long-winded verbal instructions before you can retrieve a 9 second long voicemail. Hmmm.
Not sure how the rule of thumb holds up when you get to the big bows, but 4x the draw weight in tensile strength is what I have read. For example, a 50 lb draw bow would need a 200 lb tensile strength bowstring.
JackCrafty:
The FF formula I use is 1/2 the poundage times 10 = the strength needed for the string.
Assuming that your FF is 50lb test per stand, then 100lbs divided by 2 = 50lbs ... multiplied by 10 = 500lbs ... divided by 50lb per strand = 10 strands.
I just started using FF this year and I love it.
JW_Halverson:
So it is true, there are only three types of people. Those that are good at numbers and those that ain't!
Jackcrafty? Can you just go 5 times the poundage of the bow? ;D
