Section 2) Traditional Strings:
1) Bow Type: Recurve or Longbow
The traditional bowstrings are of the endless loop design and prestretched at approximately 300lbs tension for a 24 hour period.
2) Length of Bow/String
The above information may be found on the bow limbs as seen in the photo to the right. The photo states a bow length of 66 inches.
If the bow length is not legible the string can be removed and measured using the following method:
Remove the string from the bow being careful to not add or remove any twists so an accurate length can be determined. Place a looped end around a nail and pull as tight as possible. Hook a measuring tape around the nail and measure the distance to the end of the string as seen in the photos below.
3) String Material and Colours
It must be determined whether the bow is made for BCY X, BCY 8125 or BCY 55, a dacron substitute string material. Bows designed for BCY X or BCY 8125 string will have reinforced tips to allow for the greater force associated with this type of modern material. As a general rule bows that are built prior to 1980 will use BCY 55 string material.
CHOICE OF BCY X OR BCY 8125 FOR MODERN BOWS
The following string colours are available for BCY X and BCY 8125 however BCY X is NOT available in the mixed 2 colour spools, such as the green and black speckled spool. I generally do not stock the speckled coloured spools in BCY 8125 either however they are available for me to order.
DACRON
The dacron string material used for older bows is BCY 55. The colour choices are below:
4) Serving Material
The serving material used for end loops and center serving is Angel Majesty. It is very durable and the premier choice for traditional bows. It is only available in the colour black.
Double check you have the following information:
1) Recurve or Longbow
2) Length of Bow or String
3) String Material ( BCY X, BCY 8125 or BCY 55 ) and Colours
