Fast flight string on a (modern)Bear Grizzly

[Warwagon]

I’ve read lots on the internet and what Bear has to say. Bear say don’t but according to the internet there’s lots of guys that do....just picking the ol TBH brain trust here. Does anyone run fast flight on a modern Bear Grizzly? Again, I’ve read the do’s, don’ts, whys and why nots, I’m seeking specific personal experience with the topic.

10 Strand Rino on a 76 Kodiak and 8 strand D97 on a Grizzly. Been doing it for years.

You will hear a lot of crap saying no but I have done it for years. I have no use for a bow that can’t shoot a modern string. If it blows up I’ll buy another bit this far so far so good.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

I think I counted 12 strands on the original string...is there an advantage to using more or less strands with fast flight?

There are proponents of the “skinny” string that claim less strands may be a little faster and even a little quieter. I find the difference to be insignificant. 10 seems to work best for me. 8 was kind of an experiment.

You’ll be fine. Make sure you have extra strands in the loops to make em thicker.

What he said^^^^^^

Make sure to get a string with padded loops.

What are you calling modern? The Grizzly has been around for about seventy years now so modern can be a subjective term. Generally speaking, most bows built since the late nineties can use Fast Flite strings. I never have gone to the Bear website to read their recommendations but would be surprised if they haven't upgraded their bows in order to remain competitive. Even if they don't recommend it, keep in mind that adhesives and tip overlay materials have changed for the better. It is that change that has made it possible to use the hard strings.

As others have said it's possible and lot's of folks do so without issue.

Bear currently makes a Grizzly and a Super Grizzly. The Super Grizzly is what they've designed for no stretch strings.
