FAQ
-
How do I find or measure my bowstring length?Often, but not always, the string length can be found on your bows lower or upper limb. It's a good practice with Hoyt bows to verify that the string and cable lengths match the cam#. Also, your bows string and cable lengths can be found on the Manufactures website: usually under "Support" and "Downloads" Their spec length is measured at 100lbs of tension, so measuring them with a tape measure may get you close, but will be slightly off. As is always the case, the more information you supply with the order, the better.
-
What wax should I use on my bowstring and how often should I apply it?Bowstring wax is a beautiful thing and works wonders in maintaining your bow string. Scorpion Venom brand wax is cheap and one of the best waxes out there. It should be applied when your string is starting to look dry or at least once a week if you shoot every day. You don’t want to over-wax a string; just enough to keep the fibers well lubricated and protected from dirt and moisture.
-
Why is it a bad idea to use Florescent or light colored serving over a darker string?The dark string material can bleed into the serving. This can cause color alteration and semi-translucent colors in some cases, making the bowstring's served area look muddy.
-
How often should I replace my Bowstring?There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to replacing bowstrings. It largely depends on how much you shoot and cam design. Your string’s appearance is certainly an important indicator, too. If the strings look ultra fuzzy, frayed, or dry and brittle, then it’s probably time to swap them out for a new set. Overall, taking care of your bow string can help you keep it for a longer time. Make sure that you replace it if it has strands breaking or fading serving.
-

Are Top Flight Bowstrings per-stretched?Yes, to remove all creep and increase stability our Bowstrings and Cables are stretched for a preset time; they are also under tension while being served.
