Sinew

(1/3) > >>

HoBow:
I had someone give me a bunch of sinew (about 100 pieces) that were 4-5" long.  Can I use this as a backing the same I would longer pieces?  Has anyone ever noted the difference in backing bows with longer versus shorter pieces on performance?

mullet:
 If it is deer leg tendons they will work just fine. I think the short whitetail tendons are better myself. I sent you a PM.

Pappy:
Yes they will done fine,just a little more work with short pieces. :)

HoBow:
Here is what I have.  I have read (I think in TBB) that thinner strands do not necessarily increase performance.....anyone have thoughts otherwise.  I'm doing my best to get them fairly thin.
