After much head scratching, Googling, and watching Youtube vids I made a jig and had a crack at making a string. Here's the jig:


One end:


Fitted:


I ended up using 12 strands of D97 and Halo 0.021" serving. The nock fit is just right I think.

I'm making one for a mate, but need to work out how to build in a subtle fault...Just something that will give me the edge next time we're on the range!

Cheers,

Dave.

Dave,

Quite a sturdy string jig, is it adjustable?

The loop serving looks extremely neat, well done.

If you are going to make another string jig I have some photos of the Artan Adjustable Jig with dimensions. If you are interested I can put them up on this post.

Thanks. It's telescopic and will handle anything I'm likely to ever need. If I need to make a string for a ...ahem...compound , I'll just make a smaller one.

well done mate, if you could build a string that would take the creaking noise away......

From you, or your bow? I think I can make you a reasonable string, but I'm not a miracle worker!

Nice work Dave.

Thanks, mate!

looks good. do you serve the entire loop and end serving in one go or do you serve the loop and the end serving separately? i serve the whole loop in one go.

any reason for 12 strands other than nock fit?
