Learning about BCY bow string materials
There are many different bow string materials that are used for different purposes
Here at Bow String Depot we use Trophy, X, B55 and D97.
Trophy is one of our stronger sellers it is the same as 452x but it has gore fiber in it to help it resist moisture and fuzzing. It doesn't creep or stretch and is 100% stable. Its a great stable material in heat or cold. But like all string materials heat will effect all string materials. It is also the only one other than 452x that comes in speckled colors.
