5 out of 5 stars
Good well made string.
This is a well made string with good tight serving and good strands. These strings run true to the stated size. This is a pleasant experience as this is the 3rd string I purchased on Amazon trying to get the right fit. I used the age old method of taking the AMO length and subtracting 4 inches to come up with a string length that has worked in the past. 64" - 4" equals a 60". This string fits as it should, not like others I purchased that were measured under tension to the outside of the loops making them a little too small for a 64" bow. Because of this experience from the other string manufacture, I decided to buy two strings from this company a 66 and 64 AMO. As it turned out because these are made true, I really only needed to buy the one size.1. It is assembled well.2. The string is very solid in appearance and feel.3. The string is built to standard lengths for many bows.4. The string shoots well.5. The package arrived quickly.6. I ordered 14 strand because my bow is 47 pounds and the string fits my nocks well.7. I would recommend this string to a friend.8. I would purchase again.9. It works with my ILF set up.

    I got this because I own a 54-inch recurve bow and I wanted a slightly longer sting to get a smaller brace height and to replace my old worn-out one. it is fully untwisted and it has the same brace height as my old one, meaning that is not 50.5 but just 50 so I removed it and measured it with a measuring tape, and yeah it is 50 inches. But still, a great bow sting shoots well and feels pretty premium.
