BCY Mercury material is an SK99 material that is quite a bit thinner than 8125 and has less stretch. It has become more popular amongst compound shooters recently. It is very stiff and may be unsafe for recurve bows.

Mercury String
We can determine the string length needed with your riser and limb specifications and by referencing bow manufacturer recommendations. Strings will come at that length with a standard number of twists already in the string and prestretched to reduce break in time. However if you have a string that gives you the desired brace height for your particular bow, we can match that. Here's how to measure.
