2008 Material Choices

Bowstring Material
We stock all types of BCY material. 452x is standard on most strings and cables. 452x is the preferred material for target archers and hunters alike, no creep and very stable.
8125 is a different selection of string material. This material has a higher percentage of Dyneema making the material lighter and faster, with low creep. For newer recurves and crossbows Dynaflight 97 is recommended for its strength and durability. Older recurves and teardrop style bows require a string that has a little give involved, B500 will work well for these applications.
Strand count may vary from bow to bow. Strings and cable will be constructed in numbers divisible by four (16, 20, 24...).
End Serving
We also stock all types of BCY serving material. Standard 3d .017 end serving is most common but may change depending on the application. Halo serving is recommended for applications that require more durability (cable ends). Halo is also a great center serving due to its slick texture. 2X end servings are recommending with roller guard bows to reduce friction and increase speed, it has a smaller overall diameter.
Center Serving
Center servings are graded on gripping ability. #62 is most common; 62xs is an upgrade in durability and has higher grip potential; Halo center serving is recommend for finger shooters who like to slide off the string, not recommended for release shooters.
