Strings

Recurve bow strings

The string transfers the energy of the limbs to the arrow and has a direct effect on arrow speed, consistency and the feel of your shot. In this category you will find ready-made strings for recurve bows, from Dacron strings for beginner and wooden bows to Fastflite and BCY 8125 strings for faster carbon limbs.

What to look for when choosing a string:

• Bow length: order the string for the length of your bow (e.g. 66", 68" or 70"), which is the riser length plus the limbs.
• Material: Dacron stretches slightly and is gentle on the limbs, ideal for beginner, youth and wooden bows. Fastflite and BCY 8125 are low-stretch high-modulus materials for faster, more precise limbs with reinforced tips.
• Number of strands: fewer strands make a lighter, faster string; more strands give more durability. Match the strand count to your draw weight and nock fit.
• Serving and nocking point: the centre serving protects the string where you hold it; the nocking point (nock locator) makes sure every arrow sits in the same spot.
• Brace height: after fitting a new string, check the brace height (distance from string to grip) and adjust it by twisting the string.

Well-known string materials and brands include BCY, Brownell (Fastflite), Angel, Flex Archery and GAS Bowstrings. Not sure which string fits your bow? DAS Roggel is happy to advise.
