How many years is a bow string good for?

For frequent shooters, bow strings typically last around two years before needing to be replaced. Perform a bow string inspection regularly to determine if it’s time for a new one.

Should I wax my bow string?

Yes. While BCY X99 is very reliable, it’s still important to wax your bow string whenever it gets dry, fuzzy, or dull in appearance. On average, you should wax your X99 bow string every 2-4 weeks or so, give or take, depending on your shooting frequency.

    String material

    I shoot competitively every year. Approximately 15-20 tournaments a year. This is the only string that I have found that does not stretch, and stays the same from practice to tournament time. In the past I have had strings stretch on me in competitions

    60X REVIEW. I have purchased two bow strings; one for my VXR and one for my V3X. After installing them I shot them 25-30 times. Then proceeded to set my peep sight and nose button. It has been months now and 1000’s of shots later. No adjustment needed. Great strings and consistent. Its why after buying my first one in DEC. of 2022; there was no hesitation for the next one and will be no hesitation for my next one. Awesome strings and great service. THANKS 60 X PASTOR B JAY DAILEY.

    Quality Strings

    I have used 60X strings for many years on all of my Compound Bows. Single or mixed colors, you will have many possibilities to make your personal design. I never have a problem with my 60X strings, many bow makers (mathews) equip the bows with strings that have the problem of serving separation, with 60X you will never have this type of problem. If you want high quality, beautiful colors, and durability, get 60X.

    Bow String

    I have been shooting for over 30 plus years I have made strings and have bought strings from many different companies in my opinion I have used 60 X strings for about four years and have never experienced any servicing separation or string stretching or fraying and that’s why I’ve been using 60X Strings they seem to put a lot of effort in to building there strings
