Frequently Asked Questions

What is a teardrop bow string/teardrop steel cable system?

A “teardrop” string is a bow string that is specifically built for use on compound bows. It uses a teardrop connector to connect the bow string to the steel cables that come off the cams.

What are the benefits of teardrop strings?

Teardrop strings usually cost less because they are cut shorter in order to fit properly. Also, they are made of less “cutting-edge” materials than some of the very modern stuff. However, it’s less about the “benefits” and more about getting the correct type of string for your bow. If your compound bow uses a teardrop connector, then you need to buy teardrop compound bow string replacements.

What is dacron bow string material?

Dacron, the material we use in this bow string, is a polyester with excellent properties of tensile strength and stretchiness. It is a great material choice for many bows and is especially well-suited for older bows that can’t take full advantage of, or can’t safely be used with, the latest bow string materials.

How can I tell if my compound bow uses a teardrop steel cable system?

Check out our helpful video on this page for a visual explanation of how to identify a teardrop connector!

I have never heard of a teardrop bow string. Am I missing something?

Teardrop connectors are not used in modern compound bows. They are strictly a vintage technology, and many archers and bowhunters today don’t know about them. If you inherited or purchased an older bow, this might be your first time needing to buy teardrop compound bow string.

    Canadian Buyer

    Another great string has arrived at my door step. Delivered to Canada in an exceptional timely matter, ordered on Sunday, had it by Thursday, amazing!! Quality as it’s best, loops are nice and tight, so tight that I had to use a needle nose pliers to loosen them a bit to fit. It’s my second order from 60xcustomstrings and I will continue to order from them.

    thanks

    Having an older Bear compound bow with teardrop-end string, it was non-existent finding a replacement string from Bear or any of the archery shops in Montana or Washington. Did some Internet search and came up with names. Got down to 60X and described my dilemma and right off the answers were all yes. Yes, we know what you need. Yes, we can make that length. Yes, in up to three colors (I chose plain black). I was quoted $9 per string, I ordered 3, gave them my card number & in a week I had 3 strings delivered in the mail with NO postage tacked on. GREAT so far. Put one on my bow & went hunting our late hunt over Thanksgiving. Stalked to 50 feet and put one through the heart of a whitetail. Works fine. Glad to give them a referral!

    what a deal

    Looked all over the net for a 38″ 70# bow string for my old bow with on luck. A bow shop said they would build one for $35. I finally found 60X Custom Strings. They had the exact size in any color for $9 and change. So I ordered another for a spare. 60X shiped them fast. Now my bow is like new. Thanks for the excellent product, and service.

    I searched the Internet for a new string for my “1984 antique” bow with no luck. When I emailed 60X Custom Strings they replied quickly with the proper string for my bow. I bought my bow new 1984. It is old, but in excellent condition. It is ready to hunt again thanks to 60X Custom Strings. Prompt, courteous and very professional service.

    real deal

    Was unable to locate a set of strings for my Bear Polar Ltd. Found them at 60X. Exact duplicate to the original.(B50 Dacron 14 strand) Great fit, quality serving,and hold the peep straight. Center serving could have been centered a little better ( knock is within 1/2″ of the top) but being a vintage bow mine could be different from current compounds. All in all a real deal on a quality replacement string. Randy Wertz Oshkosh, WI
