Hi,
I'm in a bit of a quandary and hope someone can help. I normally shoot Olympic Recurve but have bought a low price one piece recurve to have a bit of fun with. A Touchwood Ibex to be exact.
What I'd like to know is do I have to stick with a dacron string or are the limbs capable of taking a less stretchy string. I currently have a endless loop dacron string but would like to change to a Flemish twist. Can I use a BCY D97 string?
I've searched the net and all I can find is that the bow has Mycarta limb tips and I don't know if that means they are reinforced to enable the use of more modern strings or not.
I'd be grateful for any help.
