Custom Bowstrings – Why They Rock

As you progress as a hunter you expect the best out of your equipment.  When it comes down to that one moment of truth, you want your arrow hitting its mark everytime.  To me a custom bowstring is one of the best ways to get your bow to shoot more consistent and tighter groups.  We recently approached Amanda and Joe at Proline Bowstrings (www.prolinebowstrings.com) about getting some for our Bear Anarchys.  Some online research had pointed me right to their strings, and when reading about them I only heard great things about the strings.  We immediately got a couple sets sent out and got them broken in immediately.  Right off the bat my bow felt 100% better on the draw and at full draw.

To me a custom bowstring gives your bow a more solid back wall that delivers less string creep.  This helps me hold my anchor the same every shot and leads to tighter and more consistent groups.  They also are made of a superior material in most cases and aren’t nearly as prone to stretching out as most stock strings will do.  This eliminates problems with your bow such as timing issues and inconsistent arrow flight.  You also don’t have to worry about your string twisting and throwing your peep off.  Immediately after the new string were on, my groups improved and I was far more accurate.  You also get to pick your colors and customize your bow which is pretty sick in my opinion.

These strings are going to last longer and provide superior durabilty.  When we had the new Prolines installed they fit to the spec of the bow perfectly.  All the servings and loops were built better than any I’ve seen.  No flaws or imperfections could be found.

If you looking to make your bow that much more deadly or are in need of a new string be sure to talk to Amanda at Proline,and she will get you all dialed in with a killer setup for your bow.  Give her a call at 513.259.3738.

Anything that makes you more confident as a hunter and is withing your budget is a must in my opinion.  Everytime I pick up my bow I’m a lot more confident it will be slinging arrows perfect just as it should.  Get a pair of strings, you won’t regret it.

Be looking soon for some sick wilderness fly fishing content from a 6-day trip and also some elk scouting photos to show up to keep that stoke high.

      Thanks Chad. You gotta try them out at some point. I know it made a very noticeable difference in my shooting and the feel of my bow.
