We make high quality compound bow strings and we know you expect that. If you have a problem with your string just let us know and we will send out a new set.

All of our bow strings are measured 3 times before they leave. If your string is not at spec measurements some twist may have come out during installation or during shipping.

Peep Sight Information Shiny Shiny Shiny

Peep rotation is term that we face and the bow string industry. Peep rotation means that once the peep is in the right spot, it stays there.There are a few ways to get the string set up.

The first option is to set your peep at the right height. Next server above and below the peep. Draw the bow back. If the peep is turning just a little, let down and and slide the bottom serving down just a little. Draw the bow back again. Continue this process until it lines up just right. If it seems like a lost cause, return the bottom serving to where it was to begin with.

Repeat the above steps with the top serving.

Second option: Instead of seperating the colors, place the same number of stands of each color on each side of the peep. I have found that this is the fastest and best way to set up a peep sight.

BCY STRING QUESTIONS
Question: What is creep compared to stretch? Answer: Creep is non-recoverable elongation, unlike stretch which is basically elasticity or recoverable elongation. Some elasticity is necessary. Creep is a problem. It can cause the bow to go out of tune and the peep to rotate. The draw weight can increase and the draw length can increase. Question: Are there any bowstring materials that do not creep? Answer: Yes 450 Plus and 452X are blends of Dyneema and Vectran. Vectran has no creep at the tension created by normal bows, therefore both 450 Plus and 452X are normally 100% stable. Question: If the 450 products have no creep, why would anyone use anything else? Answer: Any archer needing maximum speed will find that a Vectran blended product is slightly slower than a 100% Dyneema or Spectra product. Question: What is the fastest bow string material that does not creep? Answer: On most bows, we would suggest 20 26 strands of 452X material in the string and the cable (or make the cables from 12 14 strands of 450 Plus). This response relates to compound bows with 55 75 lb draw weight. A lower number of strands can be used on lighter poundage bows. Formula 8125 material and DynaFLIGHT 97 are made from the latest and strongest Dyneema material. In many cases, little or no creep will occur when using these materials and 8125 is the fastest. Question: Is it a fact that the lower the number of strands, the faster the arrow? Answer: Yes on most bows but not all, and of course with todays extremely strong materials, a lower number of strands can normally be used safely. Of course it is important to be sure that the center serving is built up to allow a good nock fit when the number of string strands are reduced. Note also that at a certain point not too far below the manufacturers recommended number of strands, it is quite likely that the archer will notice an increase in vibration directly after release because there is not enough mass in the string to absorb the elastic energy that occurs when the arrow is released. Note that on HMPE products like Dyneema and Spectra are prone to creep more if less strands are used. Elevated temperatures and higher draw weights increase this problem. Question: Are there string materials that are better on some bows than others? Answer: Bow manufacturers make their choice of string material based on many criteria but primarily safety and performance. Performance meaning speed, low or no creep, vibration, and durability. Bow manufacturers do extensive testing. Some put a higher priority on certain criteria than others but they are all very conscious of safety. Question: Can you use a different string than the type supplied with the bow directly from the factory? Answer: Normally yes unless there are some strict recommendations not to by the bow manufacturer. Check to be sure it does not void the warranty if a different string is used. Be sure to get the right number of strands of the new material you plan to use. Question: Is it okay to wax the serving material on a bowstring? Answer: Yes, especially if a silicone wax is used because the silicone will penetrate through the serving into the fibers below which are tightly compressed so there will be help in improving durability.Question: Is there any difference in the durability of a string made from colored material instead of black or white? Answer: No.Question: What is the life of a bowstring? Answer: This depends on many factors but primarily the number of shots and the condition of the equipment. If an archer is shooting a high poundage bow every day and using perhaps a caliper release, the string should be checked very frequently. (Using a string loop will increase string life.) On a lower poundage bow, shooting fingers, the wear would be significantly less, therefore the life of the string much longer. But again, it is the archers responsibility to check the string and keep it waxed. There are no rules. We know that with the high quality synthetic materials being used today, many thousands of shots can be achieved. We also know that once a string has stretched out or rather crept an inch or two, it should be taken off and replaced. Archers should also check for tell tale signs of problems such as abrasion (fuzziness), high strands (which indicate a strand breakage underneath the serving), excessive peep rotation which again can be an indication that one strand may have broken. There are many reasons for string breakage. One of the most common is burrs in the cams/ wheels. It is the archers responsibility to check the string carefully prior to shooting every time. As stated, many thousands of shots can safely be achieved if the string is checked and maintained properly.Question: If I reduce the number of strands to improve arrow speed, should I be concerned that the strength of the bow string is reduced and therefore dangerous? Answer: With almost all modern materials used in the manufacture of bowstrings, the strength is well in excess of the maximum tension applied to the string. Consider this A popular number of strands for Formula 8125 material is 18. The breaking strength of a single strand of Formula 8125 exceeds 100 lbs. Using 100 lbs as the criteria, the total strength of 18 strands is 1800 lbs. Of course when set up on a bow, the strands are split at the loops and a static load test shows that approximately 40% of the strength is lost at this point. This still leaves a breaking strength of over 1000 lbs. It has been calculated that on a high poundage bow, say 75 80 lbs, it is possible to generate approximately 200 lbs total tension while drawing. Compare this to the breaking strength over 1000 lbs mentioned above and there is at least a 5 1 safety factor. Reducing the number of strands is normally ratioed to the draw weight of the bow, therefore on lower poundage bows, the 5 1 safety factor will remain or perhaps increase. With the newer, smaller diameter materials like 452, the single strand breaking strength is under 100 lbs but many more strands are used so at least a 5 1 safety factor is maintained. Basically, using the manufacturers recommended number of strands x the breaking strength of the string, will assure you have a string with much more than adequate strength and if you decide to drop a couple of strands to increase speed, the strength of the finished string will still way exceed the maximum poundage generated by the bow. Breaking strengths is rarely, if ever, the cause of a string failure. More likely causes are • condition of cam wheels (burrs) • over twisting • extremely tight serving/compressive failure • type of release • lack of string care and maintenance (lubrication) • abrasionQuestion: Does 452 fray? Answer: All bowstring material will fray or fuzz if its not properly maintained, meaning regularly waxed, so I guess the question is - Does 452 fray more than other bowstring materials? Early production of 452 bowstring material included fibers lubricated with silicone. It was found that the silicone would not blend with our standard bowstring wax applied during manufacturing. This caused 452 material to dry out quickly and a dry string will fuzz of fray. The fibers are no longer lubricated with silicone. We now use a special lubricant which blends well with our current production wax. This means that the 452 stays well lubricated, therefore no longer will it fuzz or fray. All current productions of 452 will show no more fuzzing or fraying than any other bowstring material. 452 is now called 452X. Note also that the percentage of Vectran in 452X is approximetely 33%. The lower the Vectran content, the higher the durability, the faster the arrow speed, the longer the string life and the greater the safety. Question: Do bowstrings provide the same performance on different bows? Answer: No. It is generally accepted that small diameter string materials of 100% Spectra or Dyneema, such as 8125, will shoot faster, but of course stability also has to be considered. The width of the wheel tracks and design of the compound bows can make a difference. Some bows have very wide and friendly wheel tracks and speed tests have shown that blended materials such as 450 Plus are not much slower than 8125 on these bows. On some compound bows, particularly those with narrow wheel tracks, the use of string material with a high percentage of Vectran has resulted in problems such as sudden catastrophic failures. So, the answer is really that any opinions given by archers on string material relate directly to the bow they are using and it is wrong to assume that the results will be the same on other bows. Question: What is the best bowstring material for a modern Recurve bow ? Answer: First it is essential to be sure that the bow is designed to shoot with the modern, high tenacity bowstring materials. Any doubt, use Dacron to avoid limb tip breakage. Which string material is best for recurves ? It's not an easy question. We know top recurve shooters are using our 8125, our 452X and our Dynaflight97; and by top shooters we mean people like Vic Wunderle, Butch Johnson, Ed Eliason, Simon Fairweather. So there's really not a clear recommendation but we see a preference for Dyneema which offers high strength and durability. Less strands can be used on lower poundage recurves, which helps arrow speed, particularly if the draw length is short.
