String suggestions

#1 Post by Nock »

I’m wanting to get a new string made for my browning wasp recurve. It’s 56” and 40#. Going to get Dave to make one. But I have no clue far what type of string. Any suggestions. Thanks.

52” B50 is my guess but I’m hoping someone with more knowledge on this bow will chime in.

B55 should be fine.

So what’s the difference in a B50 and B55?

B55 is newer. Safe on older bow little less stretch and is a lot more stable than dracon. It is a better non fast flight material.

I just got 2 B55 strings from Dave for my old ben pearsons. They work great on the older bows.

B50 or B55 should be fine. I'd make a 52" string for that bow.
