Good value for the money

It is a good solid strang for the price. I shoot mostly 50 lb recurve and it handles everything I throw at it. If I had to say anything negative it would be that the top loop that slides down over the limb starts to separate at the bottom of the loop some when a little pressure is applied from the limb. It's not the most expensive string out there but I would recommend these strings to anyone and I plan to buy more in the future when needed.

Pros
  • Came quick. Correct length. Still in bag until I need it as my backup.
Cons
  • May not fit all traditional and recurve bows

Okay nothing special

Endless loop Dacron string made in China. Inexpensive. Decent material and craftsmanship. It fits my Black Hunter recurve and performs okay. The top loop is too small and barely slides on my bow limb when stringing. There is not enough serving below the nock point to cover the strands of the string when shooting three fingers below the nock. Maybe I can add some more serving. I will keep this as a spare and go back to a Flemish twist American-made string which cost more but is better made.

Pros
  • Same quality as the Dacron string that came with my Southwest Archery 24 # 66" Recurve bow.
Cons
  • May wear out faster than other bowstrings

16 strands is too thick for recreational arrows

Very well made bow string. 16 strands makes it a little too thick for recreational arrows to fit on easily. That was fine to my own ignorance, but it was also not readily apparent. The arrows will fit, but it takes some force. If you are just shooting cheap arrows at targets in your back yard, get fewer strands than 16.

Pros
  • Reduces hand shock and bow jump
Cons
  • May not hold up well under heavy use

Great value strings, will buy again.

These bow strings are as advertised the only drawback I have is the serving seems to be sitting slightly high from center but manageable. Will definitely purchase again once time for new ones.

Pros
  • Suitable for traditional and modern archery styles
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove from the bow

Bow String for Old Recurve

I use an old Ben Pearson recurve for bow fishing and the string was coming apart. I found KESHES on amazon an ordered an 16 strand Dacron. I waxed it, put about ten twists in it to set the brace heighth and it shoots great. The string appears to be very well made and has not stretched at all in the first 100 arrows. I will probably replace all the strings on my traditional bows this year with products from this company.

Pros
  • Handles harsh weather conditions
Cons
  • May not be suitable for youth or small-framed users

It lasts for quite a long time and the price is reasonable.

As stated above this bowstring was priced reasonably and lasted quite a long time considering that I string and unstring my bow for each use.

Pros
  • Low-stretch design for optimal performance
Cons
  • May require constant adjustment

It's a good string.

I have purchase this before and it is very good for me, I ordered a 12 strand and 58" Amo ,but what I got was a 12 strand 54"Amo.

Pros
  • Good bowstring good price. Already waxed unlike the other one that came with a bow
Cons
  • Limited color options

Good replacement for my 35lb bow

Pretty straightfoward. My last bow string was severely unraveling and breaking down. This is a good and inexpensive replacement. I'll probably buy it again when it eventually breaks down.

Pros
  • Can handle high poundage bows
Cons
  • May be too difficult to install for some users

Does the job for my opinion

The item does the job. It does have a strong smell to it, reminds me of the smell the old cap guns had after you fired them. Seems like it will hold up for a long time.

Pros
  • Prevents string slippage and misalignment
Cons
  • May not stay in place while shooting

Good value bowstring.

Bowstring came fast and looks to be in good shape, no markings or blemishes and all the strands are tight. Much better bowstring that the one my bow came with. I'm happy customer. Will return and update review if anything changes.The nock serving is a little too thick with the plastic arrow nocks I have. Got some boiling to do.

Pros
  • ENDLESS LOOP TYPE - The ends are already made into loops style, so you can simply insert it in your bow right away.
Cons
  • May not hold tension well

made in China for my opinion

I guess there's nothing wrong with a bowstring being made in China; it just hit me wrong. That in and of itself is no reason to reject it. I can make a good bowstring but it takes a while. A Chinese citizen could do just as good a job as I can and even better. But, the quality was poor. When I strung my Martin Savannah longbow, it was clear that the string was too short. It was already "unwound" all the way; I couldn't lengthen it by untwisting. When I pulled both loops thru a "brush button"…

Pros
  • Helps you achieve consistent and accurate shots every time
Cons
  • May not be as comfortable as other bowstrings

Proper string fit for older model traditional bows

Many of the older model bows (recurves specifically) will not accept the Fast-Flight strings. Having a string that fits into the string grooves on the limbs is essential. This string (mine was a 14 strand for a 50 lbs bow) is the exact string for this type of bow, e.g. Bear Kodiak Magnum, Bear Grizzly, or any of the older Bear bows. The quality is excellent. My string is still in the "stretching stage", but so far it has performed far better than the Flemish Twist I was using. I think most…

Pros
  • LENGTH SIZE AND STRANDS AMOUNT – The AMO" is the length of your BOW(which that is the Amo size you need). The actual length is 4" shorter than the given Amo". The less the strands, the smoother the shooting will be, however the more powerful you shoot the more strands your string will need. RECOMMENDATION: Up to 40 lbs, use 12 strands Up to 50 lbs use 14 strands Up to 66 lbs use 16 strands
Cons
  • May affect accuracy over time

Quality product , but order fill error

I received an AMO length longer than ordered, but this review is for the product. I’m very satisfied with the quality of the string. All strands are tight at full length so the tension at draw is equally shared by all strands. The string is fully waxed with tight servings at both ends and knocking area. Being longer than what I ordered Vs shorter, I’m able to use the string so I’ll not return it. With the quality and price of the string, I’ll order again as needed.

Pros
  • Archery
Cons
  • May not be as long-lasting as other bowstrings

I am very happy with these bow strings.However, it is unfortunate that you cannot see what size you are ordering. After you select the size and number of strands and click add to cart, the size information disappears. I accidentally ordered the wrong size and did not see the problem when I reviewed the order for confirmation.I got a full refund and I ordered the correct size, which I received and have used for two shooting sessions.When I ordered the correct size I had to take extra steps to be

Pros
  • Compatible with different arrow types and sizes
Cons
  • May not provide enough power for certain bows

Good deal, good product.

Nice new string, cleanly wrapped and exactly the length I ordered. Prewaxed as well which is nice. Performing very well so far.

Pros
  • Great bow string for the price. Order was accurate and delivered quickly.
Cons
  • May require additional waxing to prevent fraying

Great seller, great product!

The bow string is working great and was exactly what I ordered. I really liked that the Keshes string and arrows I bought came with cards that had helpful tip and information. Quality Outdoors (the seller) had a great price and on time delivery! Over all I am happy with this transaction.

Pros
  • Ideal for those who want to improve their archery skills
Cons
  • May not be suitable for users with allergies to certain materials

Great string for the money. I will buy again

I was surprised the string was as good as it looked. I wish the serving was longer for arm slap… but for the money I’m pleased

Pros
  • Provides a smooth and consistent draw
Cons
  • May not fit well with certain arrow rests

Great bowstring, but for one problem, lol. Not long enough for my bow. Would probably have been 5 stars, then. Prewaxed, tightly bound, care instructions in the bag, excellent first look, overall. Can't rate performance or longevity, but from handling it, I can tell that it's a quality product.

Pros
  • Prevents string creep and bow stringing
Cons
  • May not provide consistent string tension

Got this to replace the sting on an old Bear re-curved bow.

So, I got this for my the Bear bow that belonged to my grandfather and my middle son is currently using. He loves his bow and noticed the string was starting to fray. So, I found this replacement string on Walmart and got it to replace the damaged string. So far so good. The boy has been using it all weekend and has not complained about it. From the teenager, that is pretty high praise.

Pros
  • Protects your bow from potential damage
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in extreme temperatures
