SAS | Survival Archery Systems | 16 Strand Dacron Recurve String

 A 16-strand Dacron recurve string is commonly used on traditional recurve bows, particularly those that are older or have wooden limbs that might not handle the high tension of modern synthetic strings. Here are the key aspects and considerations for this type of bowstring: Features: Material: Dacron: Dacron is a type of polyester that is known for its stretchiness and durability. It is more forgiving than modern materials like FastFlight, making it ideal for older or more delicate bows. Strands: 16 Strands: The number of strands in a bowstring affects its strength and durability. A 16-strand Dacron string is thick enough to handle the draw weight of most recurve bows, providing a good balance between strength and stretch. Length: The string length needs to match the bow length. Typically, the string should be about 4 inches shorter than the bow's AMO (Archery Manufacturers Organization) length. For instance, a 60-inch AMO bow would require a 56-inch string. Serving:
