BCY Spectra 652 is equivalent to the original Brownell Fast Flight material and is preferred by some for recurve bow strings. It has more give and a little more stretch than 8125 or D97.
For Spectra 652 we recommend the following strand counts as a starting point:
14 strands (20-26 lbs draw weight)
16 strands (27-34 lbs draw weight)
18 strands (35-42 lbs draw weight)
20 strands (43-48 lbs draw weight)
22 strands (49+ lbs draw weight)
Your new string - please specify:
- Strand count
- Colors (see colors available for each material)
- Length
Your bow - please specify:
- Riser make/model/length(21", 23", 25", 27")/handedness - example: Hoyt GMX 25" right handed
- Limbs make/model/draw weight/length(short, medium, long) - example: Hoyt Axia 36lb medium
- Nocks make/model/size - example: Beiter #1 pin nocks
- Shooting style - example: Olympic recurve, barebow, traditional, hunting recurve
Spectra 652 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.
