Durable Replacement String for Youth Bow – 128 cm / 50.4", 15 lbs Draw
Practical Usage and Installation
This string is designed as a direct replacement for light youth bows. Its loops are firmly secured with brass crimps, which is a reliable solution for bows with lower draw weights. When stringing the bow, ensure that the string loops fit correctly into the nocks (grooves) at the ends of the bow limbs. For children's bows with a force of 15 lbs, the string can be fitted by carefully bending the bow, ideally with the assistance of an adult, to prevent the limbs from twisting.

Historical Context: From Sinew to Synthetics
Historically, making a bowstring was a true art. Prehistoric hunters and medieval soldiers used materials provided by nature – most commonly flax fibres, hemp, silk, but also animal sinew or rawhide. While functional, these materials suffered greatly from moisture. If a string got wet in the rain, it stretched and the bow lost its power, which could mean the difference between life and death in battle. Today's modern synthetic materials, such as the one used for this string, eliminate this problem – they are stable, rot-resistant, and have a much longer lifespan than their historical predecessors.
String Care and Safety
A bowstring is by nature a consumable item that wears out with shooting. However, to make it serve you as long as possible, follow these principles:
- Waxing: Even synthetic strings deserve care. Regularly check if the fibres are dry or fraying. Using beeswax or special string wax extends its life and protects it from moisture.
- Storage: If you are not using the bow for a long time, unstring it. This relieves stress on both the bow limbs and the string itself.
- Never Dry Fire: A "Dry Fire" (releasing the string without an arrow) is the worst thing you can do to a bow and string. All the energy that would otherwise be transferred to the arrow remains in the bow and string, which can lead to the string snapping immediately or the bow being destroyed.
- Warranty: Please remember that the warranty only covers material defects detected before first use. A snapped string due to usage, incorrect installation, or dry firing is not grounds for a claim.
I recommend that you also purchase string wax and spare arrows of the appropriate length for children's bows to go with this product.
