Get the best dacron material for your bow at 60X Custom Strings! BCY B55 dacron string material is a top choice for traditional longbow and recurve bow strings because of its reliability and ease of use. B55 is 100% polyester with characteristics similar to other dacron materials, but with better durability and lower stretch. It is available in solid colors designed to suit your specific needs. Whether you want a vibrant blue for a competition or a muted green for hunting, you’ll find exactly what you need here.

Best Practices

BCY B55 string material works best for recurve and traditional bows, in addition to crossbows. It provides strength and stretch all in one, and it is an excellent choice for older teardrop compounds.

Note: Dacron material like this should not be used on today's high-performance compound bows, due to its strand count. A normal strand count is 12-18 for traditional bows and 24-32 for crossbows.

    B55 Polyester bow string material

    Fifty years ago, I first started making bow strings. I bought a lot of dacron bow string, so this is the first time I have bought new string. Surprised that polyester had replaced dacron. Anyway, I have made two bow strings for my new recurve bow. Seems to working for me. Thanks for the very quick service.

    Dacron B55 String

    This is a very durable and workable string for recurve and long bows from 12 to 100 pound of draw. I could use the more expensive strings but they would be overkill for this type of archery.

    B55

    I am a new string maker. Focused solely on Flemish twist. I chose B55 because it's both economical and useful for crossbow strings. I have ordered black, orange, blue and yellow. 60x has their order process down. Everything arrived quickly! My only complaint is the inconsistency of string wax. The blue and yellow i just received had much more wax than the black and orange. The orange was almost completely dry, and this made it MUCH more difficult to twist. But I learned from it, so I got exactly what I needed from it. Cant compare to other string material but so far seems to be a good option.
