12 best compound bow string material
Compound bowstrings are a crucial component of a compound bow used in archery, hunting, and other related sports and activities. These bowstrings play a significant role in propelling the arrow with precision and speed. Here's an overview of common materials used for compound bowstrings and related aspects:
Bowstring Materials:
Dacron: Dacron is a traditional material for bowstrings.It's known for being durable, relatively low-stretch, and economical. However, it's less popular in modern compound bows due to advancements in string materials.
Fast Flight: Fast Flight is a high-performance bowstring material made of strong and low-stretch synthetic fibers, typically Spectra or Dyneema. It's lightweight and offers a significant reduction in string creep and stretch, resulting in improved arrow speed and accuracy.
Dyneema (HMPE - High Modulus Polyethylene): Dyneema is a synthetic material used in high-quality bowstrings. It's known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and minimal stretch, which helps in delivering consistent arrow speed and accuracy. It's a popular choice among archers seeking high performance.
Spectra: Spectra is another synthetic material similar to Dyneema, offering high strength and low stretch. Bowstrings made from Spectra fibers are highly durable and provide excellent arrow speed and precision.
BCY (Brownell & Company): BCY is a leading manufacturer of bowstring materials and offers various options like 452X, X99, and more. These are high-quality, modern bowstring materials known for their strength, low stretch, and consistency.
Accessories and Maintenance:
String Silencers: These are accessories attached to the bowstring to reduce noise and vibration upon release, improving the overall shooting experience.
String Wax: Regularly waxing the bowstring is essential to prolong its life, reduce friction, and enhance its performance. Bowstring wax helps in maintaining the integrity of the string and preventing it from fraying.
String Serving: The serving is a specialized thread used to reinforce and protect certain areas of the bowstring, particularly where it makes contact with the bow's cams and wheels.
In archery and related sports, selecting the right bowstring material is critical to optimize performance, speed, and accuracy. Each material has its advantages, and the choice depends on an archer's preferences, shooting style, and the specific requirements of the bow. Proper maintenance and usage of accessories ensure a longer lifespan and improved functionality of the bowstring.

User questions & answers
| Question: | How long is it |
| Answer: | When you look at the images of the product, you can tell the mesh is see-thru, so you can tell what is in the bag. But there is a transparent film that seals the bag on the inside. I've not had anything leak to test it, but it doesn't appear that the bag will leak. The water-proofing, that keeps water out, looks like it will keep any leaks inside contained. |

| Question: | Are they target arrows |
| Answer: | Admiral is going to be a bit on the softer side with regards to hold. Our product is infused with beeswax and because of this reacts more similarly to an oil based pomade and less like a "Gel". If you |

User questions & answers
| Question: | what is the length of this overall, i have limited turning radius between string and cables or how much distance is needed for it to turn and wrap |
| Answer: | First time I’ve been comfortable in years! I’ve had a cervical lamenectomy, and have an adjustable bed. I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent trying numerous pillows. This pillow is the best ever!! No more punching , fluffing, stacking, nothing!! It’s great, just lay down, next thing I know it’s morning! |
| Question: | Is this braided or woven? Pure dyneema or dyneema/polyester blend? Looks comparable to 62 or 62xs but want to know what’s in it. Thx |
| Answer: | I have no idea...this pillow has no form and is way too soft to provide any type of support while sleeping. I would NOT buy this product. When you leave a bad review they ask you to take it down so they are not up front with the customers. I have still not received my refund. |
