SHARROW Bowstring

The SHARROW Bowstring is crafted from Dacron material, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. It's designed specifically for recurve bows, longbows, and traditional bows, making it a versatile option for different shooting styles. The string features 16 strands of braided Dacron that contribute to its overall robustness. Heres what sets the SHARROW Bowstring apart in terms of design:

• Length Options: Available in lengths ranging from 60 inches to 70 inches, catering to a wide range of bow sizes and draw lengths.
• Material Quality: Dacron is chosen for its resilience against abrasion and UV degradation, ensuring the string maintains its integrity over time.
• Construction Method: Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, each SHARROW Bowstring undergoes rigorous quality control checks before shipping.
• Serving Options: Servings are available in multiple colors (black, brown, green, etc.), allowing archers to personalize their bow setup aesthetically. The serving protects the string from abrasion and extends its lifespan. The SHARROW Bowstring is designed with functionality as a priority, ensuring that it can handle repeated use without compromising performance or reliability.

Durability is paramount when selecting a bowstring, especially if you plan to shoot frequently. The SHARROW Bowstring consistently receives positive feedback regarding its longevity and resilience. Heres what makes this string so durable:

• Dacron Material: As mentioned earlier, Dacron offers excellent resistance against wear and tear, UV damage, and moisture exposure.
• 16-Strand Braiding: The higher the number of strands in a bowstring, generally the more robust it is. Sixteen strands provide superior strength and stability compared to lower strand counts.
• Serving Protection: The serving on both ends of the string significantly reduces friction against the nock groove and limbs, preventing premature wear. While no bowstring lasts forever (they all require eventual replacement), users consistently report that their SHARROW Bowstrings last longer than other brands they've tried.

One of the standout features of the SHARROW Bowstring is its versatility regarding draw weight and tension. Its compatible with a broad range of recurve bows, longbows, and traditional bows from various manufacturers. Here's how it performs in different scenarios:

• Low Draw Weights (Under 30 lbs): The string provides excellent performance for beginner archers or those who prefer lighter draw weights. It offers smooth release and good arrow speed without excessive hand shock.
• Medium Draw Weights (30-50 lbs): Ideal for intermediate archers looking to improve their accuracy and distance. The SHARROW Bowstring maintains its integrity under these draw weights, delivering consistent performance shot after shot.
• High Draw Weights (Over 50 lbs): The string can handle higher poundages but requires careful maintenance and inspection to prevent stretching or breakage over time. While its not specifically designed for extremely high draw weights, many archers have successfully used it with bows up to 60 lbs. It's important to note that exceeding the recommended draw weight limit (generally around 60 lbs) can significantly reduce the lifespan of any bowstring and potentially cause serious injury if it breaks during use. Always check your bows specifications before selecting a string.

The SHARROW Bowstring is renowned for its consistent performance across different types of bows and draw weights. Here's how it performs in various aspects of archery:

• Arrow Speed: Dacron strings generally offer slightly slower arrow speeds compared to Fast Flight or Flemish Twist strings, but the difference is minimal when shooting shorter distances (under 50 yards).
• Accuracy: The string provides excellent accuracy due to its uniform tension and low creep. This means that it maintains consistent length even under load, resulting in predictable arrow flight.
• Consistency: The SHARROW Bowstring's construction ensures minimal stretching over time, maintaining a consistent brace height and draw length for improved consistency.
• Quietness: The string generates less noise during the shot compared to some synthetic strings, contributing to a quieter shooting experience. Many archers have reported noticeable improvements in accuracy and consistency after switching to the SHARROW Bowstring, particularly those who were struggling with other brands or older strings that had stretched out.

The SHARROW Bowstring has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from users worldwide. Heres a summary of what archers are saying about it:

  • "Easy to install and tune, even for beginners."
  • "Durable and long-lasting Ive been using mine for over a year without any issues."
  • "Consistent performance shot after shot."
• Areas of Improvement (Rarely Mentioned):
