A strand is a single thread or fiber within a bowstring. Multiple strands are bundled together to form the complete string.

Significance:

  • The number of strands affects string strength
  • Determines stability and durability
  • Influences nock fit and arrow speed
  • More strands → stronger, slightly heavier
  • Fewer strands → lighter, but under more stress
