Amsteel or Tubular Webbing bridge?

[okccj]

For those of you that have tried both, which do you prefer and why? Thanks.

Really it's personal preference. I like the tube web I think it has the perfect amount of friction against the carabiner. Amsteel is a little bit too much slip and slide for my liking. And I know the numbers don't lie but I have a mental block against trusting my life to a 1/4" rope.

I prefer tubular webbing. Amsteel grays badly and is too slippery for my tastes. Tubular is also cheaper, and it's easier to tie a water knot than it is to splice.

Same...I prefer the friction of Tubular over Amsteel. Just feels more locked in when you get to where you want to be to shoot.

I have to agree...I to like the webbing. Maybe my days in the Marines and Army, but the military grade webbing is tough. I found some 1" wide rescue webbing that is rated for 6000#. Got over 100' of it and thinking about selling it by the foot. Got it from CMC rescue.

After using predator and then switching to amsteel this past month, I have the same problem!!! Especially since I did the locked brummel splices!! Lol

What color is it?

I have both black and orange. I use the orange for my bridge and the black for my tether. Took the webbing to a upholstery guy and had him sew loops into the tether and bridge. Works great.

I just got RCH and Sitdrag. The rope it came with for the bridge is really stiff. I have it girth hitched on both sides causing the bridge loops to bunch up. I’d like to try some webbing. Where can I get some by the foot? How much will I need to make @24” bridge? I’m going to try to tie water knots for both sides. The rope I have is to stiff to even start to tie water knots.

Thanks for any help.

I really didn't notice a different between the 2....i guess the amsteel could slide a little easier....... I have a webbing bridge currently and don't really plan on changing.
