BCY 452X bow string material is the standard by which all others are compared. Since its introduction, it has proven to have superior stability compared to other bowstring materials on the market. Many archers refuse to use anything else for this reason.

FAQs

What is the best bowstring material?

The best material comes down to personal preference and equipment. For example, the best string for a recurve or crossbow may not be ideal for a compound bow. 

452X is a fantastic material that has been around for a very long time. BCY 452X bowstring material is a classic case of the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” 452X provides great speed and exceptional stability.

If we were forced to choose one best material, it would be BCY X99, as it combines the best elements of BCY 452X and 8190, resulting in a material that balances reliability, accuracy, and speed. With that said, plenty of archers swear by 452X, and we’re not going to argue!

Check our bow string material guide for more information.

How many shots are bow strings good for?

Rather than counting shots, we recommend that frequent shooters replace their bow strings at least every two years or when a bow string inspection reveals signs of wear.

What material is a 452X bowstring made of?

452X string material is made from 67% SK75 Dyneema and 33% Vectran. More specifically, Dyneema is made from HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene), and Vectran is made from LCP (liquid-crystal polymer).
