What Bowstring Materials?

At Bowman’s Bowstrings, our most popular material types for strings are BCY X99, Vec 99, BCY Mercury, BCY 8125, and Bloodline B99:

BCY X99

• 80% SK99 Highest Quality Dyneema® – 20% Vectran.
• All the benefits and performance of BCY-X.
• When compared to BCY-X, the smaller diameter of X-99 means more strands are needed for a finished Bowstring (+2/4).

 VEC 99

• A blend of Dyneema® SK99 and Vectran fiber.
• Our Patent Pending Next Gen Coating Technology allows for a higher percentage of Vectran to be used in a blended Fiber.
• Tests have found excellent string balance and constructional stability.

 BCY Mercury

• Made 100% from the #1 quality Dyneema® fiber – SK99
• Low Creep
• Smaller diameter for a smoother, rounder string
• Higher strength, high durability 

BCY 8125
