Anyone use one. Where do you get your string making supplies? Edmonton area.

I order from Lancaster Archery . Curious as why you are wanting B50? unless it is for a classic old bow without reinforced tips .

My bad. For some reason I thought you were asking about re-serving a Flemish string for crossbow.

I use Dynaflight 97 on all my bows, even the Selfbows with no reinforcing on the tips . It makes a much better string, quieter, less Vibration, and faster. 10 strand in the body, and 16 strands in the loops, served with .030 Diamondback.

The only thing I would put Dacron on is an old Bear/Pearson etc that doesn't have tip reinforcings.

I'm just getting in to this so any and all feed back is appreciated.
Thanks
