Try Daniel Binkley " Hunters choice bowstrings". Makes a nice string and will build to your specs.

Michael Harbison, of Bayou Traditional Archery 337-725-3616 He's one of the best string makers around. He's a member of the leatherwall, but I don't know his handle. He makes all my low stretch strings using Fury.

My suggestion is to get the material, buy/make a string board and build them yourself. It's pretty easy, even I can do it. Then your problem is gone.
Check 3 Rivers and/or Youtube.

KY I need 53" flemish string 12-14 strand, FF. I ordered two. I have probably 30 strings but none would work as I have not had a 56" bow in quite a while. I have one coming from Stilldub and another Dan Binckley. I am gonna learn to make my own as the cost some folks want is crazy. Shawn

Scooby-Doo/Shawn...you asked for people to recommend string makers.
Several people took the time to reply.
Out of 16 replies 9 people recommended Ten-Ring and three 60X.
One person recommended Dan Binkley and two recommended stilldub (one of them was me, along with recommending Ten-Ring.)
I would like to know why you chose to go with the string makers that were the least recommended?
I will say up front that I am reflecting on your last post that says " ...the cost some folks want is crazy."
Over to you...

I looked at on-line reviews and these two guys got excellent reviews on other sites and facebook. I will say the price was factor also. I will say this, the best strings ever made for me were by Josh Sowerby(OliverStacey)his real name is Josh. By far the best ever and he made my strings for at least 10 years. I cannot get a hold of him for some reason. I have bought from Stilldub before in dacron and he does make a nice string so I went with those two. Sorry but 30 bucks or more for a string is nuts!!

It's funny...it is so easy to order from Stilldub and get it in a few days....it's the reason I still haven't made my own! His strings are holding up perfectly and no stretch problems.
Before him I got strings from Rick Barbee and from Champion. I will say that the workmanship on the Champion string was PERFECT (and Rick quit making strings) But at about 3 times the price and a longer turnaround.
If you don't mind paying extra, you might try one from Champion to see if it is worth it to you.

Buy some BCY X from 60x and make your own. Look on YouTube for Ryan Sanpei (not sure about the spelling) It's fun! Capt Kirk

Barry (stilldub) does make a great string.
All of my B-50 strings came from him.
I have a few of his BCY-X on various old recurves and am pleased. They include a 1961 K-Mag, a '68 Super Mag and a Westbow Special Hunter.
The strings are about the same diameter as the B-50 and the loops fill the string grooves well.
The BCY-X feels a bit different than the Fury in the Ten-Ring strings, not in a better or worse fashion, just different.
The lack of vibration in both strings and increase in efficiency is what sells me on both materials.

30 bucks is crazy as from what I am told a good string maker can make one in short order and the costs of material is not all that much. I understand 20 or so but 30 and even as high as $39 to me is just unreasonable. Shawn

They will all be good. Something that Champion does that works when you have a bow set up how you LIKE it...
He makes the string to your desired length. You get the string out of the package and put it on....and you are RIGHT at your brace height with an efficient twist rate. That was impressive.

Do you have to specify your serving length when ordering a string? I ordered 2 from one of these guys and the serving is 7 1/2". My old strings it is 8 1/2". With the shorter ones my finger is just on it.

Tommyboy. been meaning to learn for a lot of years. I am not really in a predicament just goy a new to me bow and the string that came with it sucks. I have it shooting well with it but again not what I like. I usually ask for at least 7" serving as I have huge hands. Shawn

just curious...if you see only 2 colors used on a string, can you pretty much assume it's a 2 bundle? only asking because I was told one time that 3 bundle strings can be more efficient.

I live close to 60x bowstrings and I heartily endorse them and their products. Really nice people who shoot competitively and know what they are doing. They will go all out to please their customers with quick turnaround and quality products. Give them a call if you need something special made up.
