I have . It is just a little thicker and so far it is holding up . Jerry says you have to wax it every 15 shots . and when you serve it you have to have at least 300# pressure on your string and 200# of torque on your serving gig. it does not melt when you finish it off like AM I used a drop of glue to finish it off . you have to have a smooth set of latches for any serving to hold up and do not over cock your bow.

Our resident string maker reserved mine on my Scorpyd with Kevlar and at 520 shots it appears as new.
I wasn't waxing it enough in the first 400 shots but waxing it more lately seems to address what Jerry is advising.

I took my testing one step further and removed several times my string from the bow and froze it overnight the reinstalled and shot it right away with
no notable issues.

I like this material on the my Scorpyd bows due to long serving life noted thus far.

Don't have any problem with mine I just tighten it up as tight as I can , it is very strong stuff. get some and try it . But first check your set up for smoothness . AM is a very good serving and should last for many many shots if every thing is ok . AM has been working fine for me ,I just wanted to give that new stuff a try.

Where are you getting this material Bill? I might give it a spin, pun intended.

Thanks,

I think I read it is 20 lbs not 200 lbs for the serving jig.

Well someone take a short length of this serving and see if it can hold 200 lbs.I would see if it would hold my wife but she might get riled up over the experiement.

Well, if she wants something fast for the Holidays don't buy her a bathroom scale. I'll do 0 to 240 in a heartbeat.
