Composite Bowstring Finisher

thingiverse

The composite bowstring is a tightly woven cord made of plant fibers, animal sinew, and sometimes metal wire. It's typically 70 to 80 cm long and weighs around 20 grams. The string has a diameter of about 8 mm and is often wrapped with a layer of wax or tar to protect it from moisture. This bowstring is usually attached to the wooden limbs of a composite bow using cordage made of plant fibers. When drawn, the bowstring can store up to 80 joules of energy before releasing its force on impact. The string's properties contribute significantly to the overall performance and accuracy of the composite bow.
