You want to know what the best string there is for your bow? Is there a difference between bow strings? We tested three difference sets of strings and were amazed by the results.
Zebra Strings (Factory Strings on Mathews Bows), America's Best Bowstrings & 60X Custom Strings. Do you think there is a difference in arrow speed, kinetic energy, peep rotation between each string? You bet there is and we are here to help you look at the comparisons.
Testing Constants:
Mathews Vertix
65lb Mods Drawing 68lbs
27 1/2 inch draw length
Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 250's (Average Weight 354 grains)
Easton 5mm FMJ's (Average Weight 442 grains)
Caldwell Chronograph
Scott Archery Ghost release
All strings made from 452x BCY material
Testing Variables:
Zebra Strings/Cables (Factory Spec Lengths)
America's Best Bowstrings ( 61 7/16 String, 29 Inch Cables, 12 9/16 Control Cables)
60X Custom Strings 61 5/8 String, 29 1/8 Cables, 12 1/2 Control Cables)
As you can see there are differences in measurements between each set of strings! Will this make a difference in arrow speed? Kinetic Energy? As you can see we are appealing to both types of hunter's. The ones who want speed in an arrow and the ones that want "Hitting Power" with higher Kinetic Energy. Watch the video and pay attention to the graphs which will show the full results!
This video has lead us to another one showing is it better to go with a heavier arrow or a lighter arrow to gain speed. If you watch close you will see the difference in a heavier arrow is not worth the loss in FPS to gain such a small amount of kinetic energy!!!
Zebra Strings vs 60X Custom Strings vs America's Best Bowstrings
Zebra Strings average speed with light arrow was 297 FPS
America's Best Bowstring's average speed with light arrow was 285 FPS
60X Custom Strings average speed with light arrow was 298 FPS
Do you think these differences made a difference in Kinetic energy? You bet they did.... Please subscribe and give us a like if you enjoyed this video! Be sure to check out our Facebook and instagram pages as well for more information on this testing!!!
