About Nitro Strings
Nitro recurve and compound bowstrings are made in the UK by
experienced staff using machinery imported from the USA, capable of pre-stretching
the strings with up to 300lb of pressure and twisting then serving them
whilst under that pressure. The result is a bowstring with complete stability
from the 1st shot.
Nitro strings are available predominantly using BCYs 452X, 8125G, 8190 and
BCY-X material. These materials have a proven track record and are considered
to be the highest performing materials available. Brownells Fastflight Plus material is also available.
452X, 8125G, 8190 and BCY-X materials are available in a variety of colours
and are also available as single or two tone strings. Two tone strings are
made using equal number of strands for each colour. You will find on all of
these strings, the colour and effect will remain consistent and in order
throughout the entire length.
Nitro Recurve strings
As standard, our recurve strings are made with BCY 2X 0.015
loop and end serving in black or white. Standard centre serving is BCY #62XS
Braided serving in black.
All of our recurve strings are made to fit small groove nocks (e.g. Nitro
small groove insert and pin nocks, Easton small groove G and pin nocks and
Beiter **/1) as standard.

We have found these string lengths and strand counts suitable
for the majority of bows, however, some models may
require slightly longer or shorter lengths.
All Nitro recurve strings are twisted anti-clockwise from the bottom and the
string is twisted before serving is applied. We therefore recommend that the
twists are kept in the same direction and that no more than 6 twists are
removed from the strings starting position to ensure that servings do not
separate.
Nitro Compound Strings
All Nitro compound strings and cables are made to order
depending on the requirements of the bow. BCY 452X, 8190 and BCY-X are used
as standard on compound strings and cables, as these have less creep than any
other material, thus ensuring that cable timing is kept to a minimum. Our
technology ensures that the bowstring will suffer virtually zero peep
rotation.
Cam serving is available in transparent effect in BCY 2X serving to allow the
string colour(s) to show through. BCY #62XS serving is used for centre
serving and as standard, the centre is served for using large groove nocks (e.g.
Nitro large groove insert and pin nocks, Easton large groove G, Pin and
G-pin nocks and **/2 Beiter nocks).
As standard, all Nitro yoke cables are made using an 8 split yoke. We
recommend this yoke over the soft yoke as the two sides can be twisted
independently to manipulate / correct cam lean. Soft yoke systems can be
provided upon request.
We can also apply a cable saver, a protective cover applied over the cables
to run through the cable slider. This is proven to protect the cables from
damage caused by running through the cable slider, whilst minimising friction
and suffering no loss of speed. We do recommend that Hoyt cable sliders are
used with the cable saver.
