yes, heavier the string, the slower the bow (but your only talking 10fps at the extremes).

Does a strand or two in the cable of a compound bow really affect speed? :roll:

From my experience, cable circumference doesn't have an affect on speed.

Providing it is small enough to run smoothly within the cam grooves.

cables dont realy effect speed, Think about it they run up and down.

I think Kaey mistook the topic to be about strings. Is that what they call them over in the UK? :wink:
