A Glimpse into the History of Strings
Historically, strings were made from natural materials such as linen or hemp cords, silk, or even animal sinew and gut. Producing a high-quality string was a craft secret, as it had to withstand immense forces, particularly in powerful medieval crossbows with steel prods. Interestingly, during the rainy weather at the Battle of Crécy (1346), the Genoese mercenary crossbowmen suffered from damp strings made of natural fibers, which significantly reduced their effectiveness compared to English longbows, whose strings were easier to keep dry. Modern materials, like those used in this string, are completely immune to moisture.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Proper care of your string is the key to safe shooting. Follow these principles for a long service life:
- When installing on a 150 lbs draw weight limb, always use a crossbow stringer. Manual installation is dangerous and can lead to personal injury or limb failure.
- Regularly wax the string with specialized bowstring wax (except for the center serving where the string contacts the bolt). Wax protects the fibers from friction and dirt penetration.
- Before every session, check if the string fibers are frayed or if the center serving is damaged. Replace the string immediately at the first sign of wear.
- Never dry-fire your crossbow. Firing without a bolt transfers all the energy into the string and limbs, leading to their immediate destruction.
- Place the plastic caps onto the limb tips before sliding the string loops over them.
Recommended Accessories
For smooth operation, we recommend purchasing high-quality string wax and a cocking aid or stringer to facilitate replacement. Your crossbow would also be perfectly complemented by a set of aluminum or carbon bolts of the appropriate length to ensure precise hits on target.
