3Rivers 8125 Recurve Bow String

If bow string materials had royalty, BCY 8125 would be the undisputed King. This is the material Olympic style recurve shooters count on for the speed and accuracy they need to get to the winner's podium. ...read more

3Rivers Archery has used this fantastic Olympian material to create a double loop bow string like no other. 100% SK75 Dyneema® fiber gives 8125 the highest speed, as well as increased durability. The end loops and center serving are reinforced with nylon for extra protection and strength. It's a bow string designed for winners.

Note: Order by string length not bow length. Designed for high performance recurve bows.

Available in brown or flo green. Strings are available in 2" increments only. Choose 54" - 68" lengths.

Measure the bow string you have and round up to the nearest full inch. These strings will stretch a bit as they are broken in. If you don't know the length of your bow string a good rule of thumb is that longbow will take a string 3" shorter than they are marked and a recurve takes a 4" shorter bow string. So, if your bow is a recurve and is marked AMO 60", a 56" bow string should fit.

I have a bear kodiak hunter, and I need a new bowstring. It says amo 60. 45lb draw. What do you recommend

Post an Answer
For an older bow I would use a Dacron string material, not this 3 years ago

For an older bow I would use a Dacron string material, not this high performance low-stretch material. For length, go 4" less than bow length for a recurve. So a 56" string length.

For recurve bows it is recommended to go 4" less than the bow length. So a 58" string should be the best fit, and you can twist it from there to adjust your brace height. The Sage has reinforced tips, so it is rated to handle high performance string material.

Is this a good replacement string for my bear grizzly bow 58 inch.

Post an Answer
No, that is a fast flight string and should not be shot out of t 3 years ago

No, that is a fast flight string and should not be shot out of the 58" grizzly. You should be looking at replacement strings of Dacron/B-50 or B-55. Something like this: https://www.3riversarchery.com/traditional-b55-flemish-twist-bow-string.html
