Which material for the tillerstring?

<< < (2/3) > >>

bradsmith2010:
long string not that critical as stated,,,, if the bow is high poundage or reflexed,, I find the fast flight easier at first brace,,,,cause its low stretch,,

Selfbowman:
I use D97 16 strand for tillering and 8 strand on 50# bows.

simk:
Whatever material you use, I'd suggest making it overlong snd vary length with something like that 🙃 (bowyers knot tends to slip with ff material, especially if not thick enough)

Same here. I have an ugly pink D97 tiller string I've dragged around for many years. Wouldn't want to guess how many bows its been used on.

organic_archer:
I tiller with B55 because it’s cheap, I have a lot of it, and it holds a bowyers knot so one string can accommodate many bows. I switch to D97 for the final string, because it’s a better string material.
