Vectran

Vectran is a high-performance synthetic fiber that is commonly used in archery as a component of modern bowstrings. It is often combined with materials such as Dyneema to enhance specific properties.

Properties: Very low stretch, high dimensional stability, good temperature resistance, and consistent brace height.

Significance in archery:
Vectran reduces string “creep” (length changes over time) and helps maintain a stable, reproducible setup.

Note:
Pure Vectran strings are rare—most commonly, it is used as part of a blended fiber.
