Why Choose BCY 652 Bow String Material?
The original Fast Flight™ material revolutionized the sport when it was introduced in the 1980s. At the time, most bow strings were made from Dacron, which was prone to stretching.
Fast Flight™ quickly became the go-to material among archers seeking a material without the widespread creep problem. Even though this material is no longer as groundbreaking as it once was, it still has a loyal fanbase who refuse to use anything else.
BCY Spectra 652 is the modern equivalent of Fast Flight™. It delivers the same feel and performance as the original!
