When you’re aiming for consistent performance, accuracy, and durability in archery, the quality of your bowstring makes all the difference. At Tonyscustom Bowstrings, we specialize in custom bowstrings designed for recurve and compound archers who expect more from every shot.

In this post, we’ll show you how we make our strings, the materials we use, and why switching to a custom solution can take your shooting to the next level.

Why choose custom bowstrings?

Generic, mass-produced strings often lack the fine-tuning needed for serious archers. Custom bowstrings, on the other hand, are built to fit your specific bow and shooting style.

With a custom string, you get:

  • Better peep alignment
  • Less creep and stretch
  • Improved arrow speed and shot feel
  • Full control over strand count, materials, colors, and servings

Whether you shoot Olympic recurve, traditional barebow, or a high-performance compound bow, a tailored string setup will improve your accuracy and overall experience.

Materials that make the difference

All our bowstrings are made using top-tier fibers from BCY, including:

  • BCY 452X – One of the most stable fibers on the market. Minimal creep, perfect for compound bows and Olympic recurve setups.
  • BCY 452XTRA – A refined version of 452X, offering a smoother feel with the same unbeatable performance.
  • BCY 8125 – Lightweight, fast, and ideal for recurve archers who want maximum arrow speed and a clean release.

These materials are chosen based on your bow type and performance needs. Every fiber is tested for consistency and durability.

How we make our custom bowstrings

Each bowstring or set is handcrafted to order in our workshop. Here’s a quick look at the process:

  1. We gather your specifications: bow model, axle-to-axle length, strand count, color, etc.
  2. Fibers are measured and tensioned to exact length and twist.
  3. Serving is applied using durable thread for nock fit, peep alignment, and loop strength.
  4. Each element is tested before shipping to ensure precision and long-term stability.

We offer full sets or individual elements, depending on your setup:

  • Recurve bowstrings – typically a single custom string
  • Compound bowstring sets – usually 2 or 3 elements (string + cables)
  • Sets of 4+ elements – for advanced cam systems and tuning setups
  • Single components – perfect for replacements or tuning

Individual strings & cables also available

Sometimes, you don’t need a full set — just one component. That’s why we also offer Strings & Cables by Element, where you can order:

  • Single compound bow cables
  • Individual recurve strings
  • Control cables or bus cables
  • Backup elements for tuning or repairs

All are made with the same attention to detail and materials as our full sets.

We ship worldwide, with a strong base of customers across Spain, Portugal, and Europe. Whether you’re a hunter, 3D competitor, or target archer, we’ll make sure your custom string reaches you in perfect condition, ready to install.
