    Will the smaller diameter string cause the bow to loose speed even though the string is lighter due to the string being taken up slower during the shot, I may be thinking way off here but the center of the smaller diameter string is closer to the center of the cam which reduces the diameter/circumference of the cam. would you benefit from fewer strands with a larger diameter end serving to bring you back to .110.

    Have no proof but something slows them down. I do know it takes more speed nocks to get the speeds closer. but 22 strands of 452x isnt as fast as 24. I tried it and lost 6 fps.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    Im using 8190 on both my bows (Strother Archery) and the stuff is great!
    Both my bows picked up 3 fps compared to 452X.
    The 8190 is alot nicer looking, brighter colors, and I have yet to wax either of my strings in 100's of shots.
    Was told not to wax it, and if I did use very very little wax.
    Thus far no need to wax, they look like new!
    Timzim-TAZ Strings did mine and flat out best built strings Ive used!
    Tim knows how to make awesome strings!
    8190 is great!
