Frequently Asked Questions

1. If you have a bowstring that is the right length measure it first and that will ensure accurate length string. How to measure a bowstring? The best way is to loop the string over a screw or nail then hook a tape measure to the nail and measure to the outside of the opposite loop. This will allow you to pull the string tight and get an accurate measurement. This is the best way to guarantee your string is perfect length every time.
2. Use AMO to find your string length. AMO (Archery Manufacture Organization) Is a number the bow manufacture gives to your bow. To find your actual bowstring length take your AMO and minus 3" for a longbow 3.5" for a reflex deflex and 4" for a recurve bow. (for example if a recurve AMO is 58" you will need a 54" bow string)
3. Measure the bow yourself. Measure the belly of the bow (the side facing you when shooting) outer string groove to outer string groove. This length will be acting as your AMO. From here follow the guidelines on 2 in order to find your actual bow string length you need.

 

 

 

1. Speed of the arrow
2. The smoothness of the shot (hand vibration)
3. The noise of the shot

• B55 bow strings stretch the most. This means you can expect a smooth shooting bowstring that is quiet. The tradeoff is that it tends to be 5 fps slower than a d-97 string and 10 fps slower than Fast-Flight string. B55 strings are most commonly used for archers who care more about smoothness than speed. B55 strings are also the top choice for people who make their own bows. The B-55 bow string is the most forgiving string, and if your top priority is quietness and smoothness this is the string for you.

• D-97 bow strings are the best of both worlds. They stretch more than Fast Flight but less than B55. You will get a fast arrow and a smooth release when you shoot a D-97 bow string. The trade-off is that you don't get the quietest string or the fastest string but it is a good middle ground and rivals B55 for the most popular bow string.

• 652 Specta (Fast Flight) bow strings stretch the least. This means you can expect a super fast arrow. The trade-off is that there's more noise on release and possibly more hand vibration. Tournament archers and competition archers often choose fast flight as their primary bow string. When speed is your highest priority Fast Flight is your bowstring.
