braided dyneema fishing line

(1/5) > >>

dragonman:
I tried to make a bow string from this because its cheaper than FF, but it keeps stretching...was wondering how this is possible?

Frodolf:
The braid maybe?

PEARL DRUMS:
If a no stretch material is lengthening, its not stretching. Its settling. You might have too many twists in it. 

PEARL DRUMS:
An 1/8# spool of D97 will yield approx. 12-15 60" 10 strand bow strings. That's about $2 each. Unless your getting your fishing line dirt cheap, you probably aren't saving any money using it.

dragonman:
your right Pearl...wish I hadnt bothered experimenting, should have stuck with what I know works..for a few extra £'s   getting too old to waste time experimenting...

and yes it must be the braid settling, its the only explanation. ..but I did get it from ebay and it came from China, maybe its fake dyneema
