HIGH-QUALITY BOW STRINGS & CABLES
Whether you’re a passionate outdoorsman or just beginning your journey with archery, you need strings you can count on. We're here to provide you with custom bow strings like no other. After all, you can have the best-made bow in the world, but the best bow is only as good as the string it’s using. Explore all we have to offer and browse our most popular items!
At 60X Custom Strings, we build high-performance custom strings and cables. Our strings are made with durability in mind, reliable until your day of shooting is complete. You know you’re getting the best with 60X. Our bow strings have won over 100 world competitions and 800 national championships and are used by professional archers daily.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR BOW STRING FOR SUCCESS
At 60X Custom Strings, we guarantee the stability and consistency of your string. This is due to our specialized build process and proven methods. Our custom strings are built using a process that has been perfected through years of experience. We’ve learned which materials work best for each application, and we custom-make each order, tweaking your string specs as needed to yield a huge performance benefit. We also use the best string materials available in the industry. We know how important it is to our customers to have strings they can count on, not only for performance but for safety, as well. We never use cheap substitutes and are continually refining our methods to give you the best.
A GOOD BOW STRING MAKES A GOOD SHOT
While we do offer ready-to-ship strings in addition to our custom bow strings, all of them arrive pre-stretched using several hundred pounds of tension. Our pre-stretch eliminates peep rotation and creep on your strings as you use your bow.
Instead of taking several hundred shots before your string is fully settled, our process allows it to settle in less than 10! With all the stretch eliminated from the strings, you won’t have to keep retiming your bow or making adjustments. Our team has years of experience as archers and working with archers to provide a truly professional and seamless experience.
GET THE PERFORMANCE YOU DESERVE
At 60X Custom Strings, we offer a variety of custom strings for compound bows, crossbows, and more. We want to make sure that every string is made with precision, expertise, and high-quality materials that perform when you need them to.
TOP PICKS FROM PRO ARCHERS
Our customers choose the right string for them based on the make and model of their bow, their needs as a hunter or target shooter, and personal touches, like their color preference. We make it easy for you to find exactly what you’re looking for, and the team at 60X Custom Strings will help you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best string for a bow?
As long as you choose or customize a high-quality string that fits your bow properly, the best string material really comes down to personal preference. The material will vary depending on what type of bow it is being used on. For compound bows, we recommend the 452X, but when it comes to crossbows and longbows/recurves, it varies a lot depending on make, model, and application.
Learn moreHow many years is a bow string good for?
Frequent shooters typically replace their strings every two years. That number can vary based on your shooting frequency, style, and environment, as well as how you store and maintain your gear.
Learn moreAre custom bow strings worth it?
Absolutely. Not only will you save money in the long run, but you should notice a significant improvement in your bow’s performance, as well as your own. There are many reasons why you should consider upgrading your strings, including eliminating peep rotation and creep, improving stability and shot-to-shot consistency, and increasing velocity.

Very impressed with string and cables. Had some questions on settiing up string and cables. Called and had excellent support quickly with all my questions answered.
Excellence is the standard
From serving to stretch, I’ve been very pleased with all the 60x strings I’ve purchased over the years. I’ve purchased their 452x and D97 strings for competition barebow recurve and 8125 strings for student’s bows. I appreciate the full customization options as well as the ready-to-ship inventory when needed in a pinch. Unlike other string builders, I don’t have to wait for 6 weeks to forever for my 60x orders.

THE HISTORY OF 60X CUSTOM STRINGS
As a multi-world and national champion, our vision is to provide durable, high-quality strings at fair prices.
“While shooting in local archery tournaments and bow hunting in the mid-1990s, I was frustrated when my fast flight string or cables would stretch and need to be retimed. Since I was already building my own arrows, I started building my own strings with flashy colors. Over the next 10+ years, I continued helping archers as a hobby, while I traveled across the country shooting in tournaments.
Fast forward to 2010, I decided to start building custom strings as a business. Within the first few weeks, I was flooded with orders and my basement was transformed into a shop. Little did I know that this was the birth of 60X Custom Strings.”
