Choosing a Dacron longbow string or Dacron recurve bow string is an excellent investment. Dacron material is durable, making for years of accurate shooting. These strings are safe to shoot on both longbows and recurves, no matter their age. Dacron is the only material safe for older bows.

These strings have a slightly softer feel and “give” a little upon release. This helps extend the life of your bow. It’s lightweight, resistant to tearing, and has stood the test of time.

Black is the standard color, but you can choose from more than a dozen other color options for an additional $5. Just send us your bow string length (not AMO length), choose your options, and let us custom-make a brand new Dacron longbow string or recurve bow string for your archery practice.

This Dacron longbow string or recurve bow string is available with 12, 14, 16, or 18 strands. The right strand count depends on your shooting style and draw weight.

  • Lower strand counts make the arrow feel more flexible and are typically used by those who prefer a lighter draw weight and usually shoot from a shorter distance.
  • Higher strand counts provide a firmer feeling arrow and are typically used by those who prefer a heavier draw weight and usually shoot from a longer distance.

    12 strand dacron

    62" for an old Pearson 30# fiberglass. Looks and works good. The first one I got was too short at 59 1/2. Called them up and they made a new string with a quick turn around. Good company no doubt. Fast and free shipping always a plus in my books. Thanks 60X!
