what is the diffrence between the 50 and the 80 lb strings is it the length , strength or thickiness ?

It's the strength. The length and the thickness should be the same. Get the 80 lb string if you want more power

It is SUPPOSE to be the strength . HOWEVER BOTH of the strings , that I got are DEFECTIVE ( they BOTH frayed , started coming apart ) . I had both put on the pistol crossbow today ( one at a time of course ) . I even waxed the string ( the string wax protects it ) .

The 80 will have more strands than the 50 so the 80 will be thicker and stronger. The number refers to the poundage of the bow so the string can withstand well over 80 pounds.

The 40 is great for bass that big use mono up to12lb or braid the drag is super smooth good speed not fast enough for crank baits I use mine for catfish and kelp bed ocean fishin I have landed several 20+lb cats

Either strings will work just fine. I prefer the bronze strings as I feel the have a richer tone and sound

Longer than you. These strings are the best. They will last for months. No joke, they are very good strings.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon. I hope this helps! If not, you can contact me direct at thomsonprof at msn dot com. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HAMI53K?psc=1

I think 80 gauge is thinner than 8 mils. We use 4 mil bags and they are thicker than the wrap.

I took mine to Gander Mountain, they are 40" strings, can probably get it done at any Bow Outfitter as well.

Regular strings work just fine. I don't know the gauge off the top of my head but I know they are very light strings.

Yes....but what was wrong with 80lb? The 100lb will offer a fair amount more opening resistance and close with more downforce....watch those fingers!!!

Steel/Bronze wrapped strings on MY guitar ordered over a year ago.... The extra set of strings are Martin & Co. 80/20 Bronze.... Very nice strings and they sound great.

These are very good strings. I put them on a Hellcat VI, which has a 30' scale, when I wanted to use it as a true baritone. Looking at Ernie Ball baritone strings, they are 13-72, as where these are 14-68. I doubt you would have to make any permanent mods to the nut or bridge to use these. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Thick enough to do the job. I just measured mine, since you asked, and it's 50 thousandths. It would last longer if it were thicker, but I wouldn't want mine to be any heavier.

Jon,Let me tell you my personal experience. I have been playing for 30+ years and the only other strings I would consider using other than these are Vinci's. Before changing strings with a new set of these, I had used the previous set of Elixir for more than 2 years. Only towards the "end" did they begin to show wear. I will probably use these strings from now on. 5 stars.

I can't answer that question. The guy who made my guitar told me what strings to use and so I buy them only. I believe I am using the EXP strings. Light guage and they are nice enough for a player like myself.

I have the same 56.5. I got a 55 inch string. Similar to Momof8, it started super tight but after using it 4 times it stretched to perfect and comfortable fit. Hope that helps.

A 4 string sounds more like a guitar. An 8 string sounds more like a conventional mandolin, and allows for special tunings. Neither is better, it depends on what sound you want.

My bow is a lightweight recurve pulling about 35#. All commercially made bow strings obviously take this into account. These arrows I purchased nocked onto that bowstring well. I would not try to use these fiberglass arrows on any bow pulling more than 40#.
