Ian Robertson said:I have played with Kevlar and have found no use for it in stocks. Kevlar tends to be a flexible material especially when used with a semi flexible resin. That is why some canoes are made of it. They can flex rather than break when they hit a rock. It is harder to cut than anything else.
That's what Gale McMillan says. He also goes on to say that for a brief period when they were associating indirectly with DuPont, they were forced to use Kevlar in their stocks, and hated it.
