Strand Count for 100# ?
Badger:
Ad, I just divided 14 into 131 and it came out to 9.35 per strand, I multiplied that by 20 and came out with 187 grains, but as you say on a war bow I doubt it would make an appreciable difference. When i went to the walk the talk event we tested same bow with different string counts. These were 50# bows. Every 2 strands seem to make a 1.5 fps difference.
adb:
Those weights are for complete strings, waxed and with 8" - 9" center serving. Like I already said, I have some 20 strand strings that weigh less than some 14 and 16 strand strings, depending on how heavily they're waxed and what kind of center serving they have.
Badger:
I thought about that afterward, i didnt allow for wax and serving, brain dead sometimes.
adb:
I was very surprised when I realised how much weight the wax adds to the string.
