There are various ways of doing a string and this is just one of them.They can have more or less strands and more or less packing.They can have 3 bundles or 2,you could have 4 if you want.
I will be making this string for a 60" recurve bow but whatever the AMO length of the bow you want a string for-add 13 inches to that so in my case it will be 60 +13 = 73 inches.If a 68" longbow make them 81" you get the drift.
Cut 6 strands of dynaflight b97 all the same at 73"(or whatever your length needs to be)
Then choose another color(it can be the same but easier first up if you have different colors)and cut 6 strands at 73"
Personally I prefer 3 bundle strings but these are much quicker and easier to make.
So you will now have 6 lengths of one color and 6 of another.
Now cut 4 10" lengths of each color for the loop packing.
Then proceed to put the strands together for the first bundle like the picture shows.The left hand side is the end of the strands

once you have put your two bundles together and waxed them a bit so they stick together put the two bundles next to each other like this.
You dont have to stagger them but the end result is a neater and more gradual taper if you do.

I am left handed so you will need to adapt these instructions for being right handed.
Next grab the strings with your thumb and finger at the 7" point
