I have often heard that if you get a set of strings/cables in one single color, there tends to be less rotation than if you got two colors. Has this been proven, or still just a theory? Sent from my SM-G973U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
With every additional color you add to the string your adding two tag ends and an additional bundle. Two colors, and the stands are equal and the bundles are equal. Built correctly your would have to be a hell of an archer to notice a difference in single color vs an equal stand two color of the same material. Adding a pin to the mix is another discussion entirely I wont go into. There is no reason with todays materials and equipment that you cant build a rock soild two color string.
It seems like it was something about different dyes (different colors) have different weights and/or different color dyes affect the string differently...?
W That is like back to 1984 with me when we smoked weed and watched star trek to try to identify the star that was going to fly at you that was the enterprise. Things will fly off the string true if the bow is tuned and the shooter is prolific.
String color does matter. The dye used in the bright florescent colors adds weight. So all things being equal a neutral vs dyed string of the same strand count will be lighter weight then the florescent string. It may translate to a fps or two on the chrono or it may not. No doubt if you built a string with a smaller strand count of the same material, say 20 vs 24 the 20 will be faster. Trade off it will also be weaker. All this is really splitting hairs and has almost no practical significance. If you want a colored string, go for it. If you want a bi colored string, go for it.
