Hello, I just met someone that has a Wing Archery (Division of Head Ski Inc.) Falcon, Ser# FA 11395. 62" and 40#. The bow is really clean. He said he bought it when he was a teenager. Anyway i told him i would make him a string for it so he could shoot it again, boy did his eyes light up. What i need is some string specs on it. I plan on using B55.

If anyone knows a strand count and brace height i will get this guy shooting again.

Im guessing this bow was made in 1965?

If I were making a string for it I would use 12 strands of B50. Sometimes I use 14 just so the nock seats better but you could also build up the serving for the same effect.
Relax,
