RE: Hoyt strings and cables



If my memory serves me right Hoyt use D75 for strings and cables (sorry but this material is cheap and cheerful nothing more).</p>

Yes you can shoot good scores with standard however they are affected by heat and cold so you will find many will change them out to either professionally produced ones, or they will make them.</p>

Strings which are stable in all weathers is more important than sights, scopes, vanes, nocks and I personally think its more important than what arrows are used.</p>

RE: Hoyt strings and cables

Thanks for that guys. Whatever its made of, I'm making up a set of cables and strings in 452x which seems to be pretty popular.

RE: Hoyt strings and cables

As said Hoyt use D75.
D75 is an OK recure string material (in fact Dave Barnes use to use Dyneema 97 which is the same) however stretches far too much for a compound. You will see on the Cam 1/2 bow the top cam move out of sync creating high shots suddenly. 452X is eth best choice for the Hoyt Cam 1/2.
