Has anyone used the "new" BCY Mercury 2 string material in a recurve string?
I noticed quite a few makers are using "blended" (with Vectran) material, such as X99, but while some praise it, others caution on the possible long-term effects of the lack of stretch. Mercury and now the "2" version are non-blended, while having less stretch than D97.
I noticed Daniel at HCB is transitioning his offerings to X99, SBD is only using Force 10, while Mountain Muffler offers pretty much anything from the BCY line as a choice.
I shoot lower poundage recurves (#48 to #52) these days and would like a string offering a nice balance between performance and noise level.
