BCY material used exclusively-built to our exacting specifications.

All WinRZ90X® and PODIUM® series bowstrings are laid up on our exclusive proprietary lay out machines under eXact™ tension and SAP™ (Strand Alignment Process). All string and cables are pre-stretched and machine twisted, also recieving our MCT™ (Molecular Compression Technology) process and tensioned by our unique air tensioners at all phases at many hundreds of pounds eXact™ tension required, checking lengths at every station. Serving done with our proprietary servers under high tension allowable only by our CoolArc™ servers along with our QuadLock™ Serving Process to eliminate serving separation. All the above done adhering firmly to our Sequential Process Technology™.

This allows for a string system that truly has no stretch with complete peep stability along with no serving separation.

All proprietary technologies noted below result in "THE" string system you the shooter have been looking for. Look no further, here it is...


WinRZ90X® Premium and WinRZ90X® Pro


The string and cables on most compound bows is often times found to be its weakest link. It’s no secret that the string and cable system is required to accurately couple the limb and cam system to the arrow for any chance of a predictable and accurate outcome at the target.


Rock solid and stable, our WinRZ90X® string and cables will not change dimensionally through the pressure changing power stroke created by your compound bow, assuring you consistent solid performance that instills confidence.


Additionally, by design, our WinRZ90X® bowstrings exhibit improved accuracy and speed through straight-line string tracking while returning to brace height from full draw during the shot. This could mean the difference between success, or a pat on the back, in todays hunting or competitive environments.

Str8Line™ Technology smartly built into our bowstrings enhances the accuracy that is the hallmark of all our string systems.

Some facts about Dyneema® and Vectran® below;

Dyneema® fibers were invented over 20 years ago and by a company called DSM Dyneema and has been in production since 1990.

Dyneema® fiber is a gel-spun, multi-filament fiber that is created from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Polyethylene is a common chemical combination used in many plastics, but Dyneema's is much more than a common plastic. What does this mean to everyone without a chemical engineering degree? It means that the fiber has extreme strength, minimal weight and a large amount of useful applications.


Dyneema's chemical composition allows it to boast of many characteristics such as:

  • Resistance to most chemicals
  • Low density
  • Invisible to ultra-violet light sources and thermal imaging devices
  • UV Resistant
  • Floats on water
  • Hydrophobic (lacks an affinity for water)
  • Smooth to the touch
  • Fire resistant and self-extinguishing
  • Can withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures
  • Biologically inert (doesn't cause a reaction to the human body)
  • Sonic velocity and acoustic impedance near that of water
  • High electrical resistance
  • Elongation at break is low, energy needed to break is high
  • Very high strength

On a weight-for-weight basis, Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel and is 40 percent stronger than aramid fibers [source: Dyneema].

Dyneema® is a Registered Trademark of DSM Dyneema.


Vectran® fibers are an excellent bowstring additive.

Vectran® is different from other high-performance fibers such as aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (HMPE). Vectran® fiber is thermotropic, it is melt-spun, and it melts at a high temperature. Aramid fiber is lyotropic, it is solvent-spun, and it does not melt at high temperature. HMPE fiber is gel-spun, and it melts at a low temperature.

Vectran® is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Vectran® is the only commercially available melt spun LCP fiber in the world. Vectran® fiber exhibits exceptional strength and rigidity. Pound for pound Vectran™ fiber is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminum.


These unique properties characterize Vectran®:

  • High strength and modulus
  • Excellent creep resistance
  • High abrasion resistance
  • Excellent flex/fold characteristics
  • Minimal moisture absorption
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)
  • High dielectric strength
  • Outstanding cut resistance
  • Excellent property retention at high/low temperatures
  • Outstanding vibration damping characteristics
  • High impact resistance

Of particular importance with respect to bowstring use are the unique vibration damping characteristics of Vectran® fiber combined with high strength and excellent flex/fold/abrasion/impact resistance.

Archers have benefited from bow strings made with Vectran® fiber. Offering archers a high-performance option with no creep, and complete stability, Vectran® fiber has solved problems associated with string relaxation.
