J And D Teardrop Bowstring Black B50 42 In. 16 Strand

The J And D Teardrop Bowstring Black B50 42 In. 16 Strand represents the foundation of reliable compound bow performance. Whether you're hunting whitetail in November or fine-tuning your setup for 3D competition, a quality bowstring is non-negotiable—it's the critical link between your draw and your target. J And D Custom Strings has built a reputation among serious archers for delivering strings that hold their tune and deliver consistent arrow flight season after season.

This 42-inch teardrop bowstring employs B50 material, a proven dacron blend that resists creep and provides excellent durability in variable weather conditions. The 16-strand construction strikes an ideal balance: enough mass to absorb vibration and reduce noise, yet light enough to maintain arrow velocity and forgive minor form inconsistencies. The teardrop design—with its larger loop at the top and standard loop at the nocking point—distributes pressure evenly across the bow's cam and limb system, reducing stress concentration and extending component lifespan. B50 dacron is more forgiving than high-modulus synthetics, making it an excellent choice for hunters who need reliability over pure weight savings.

Bowhunters and target archers running mid-range draw weight compounds benefit most from this string setup. The 42-inch length suits most modern hunting bows with 6- to 7-inch brace heights. Installation is straightforward: fit the larger teardrop loop over your top cam or eccentric, position the nocking loop at the appropriate serving location, and tune your nock height and centershot accordingly. Black finish reduces visibility at full draw while maintaining the aesthetics of most bow risers. Stock this as a backup string, install immediately, or keep one in your range bag for quick field repairs during the season.
