No, we don't use hemp for strings.

Jules:
Hey guys,

New guy on the forums here (but avid reader for a long time). My name is Jules and as you might have guessed from the title I am from the Netherlands. I have been an archer and fletcher for a while now and just recently started making bows. I already made some English longbows and I am currently working out details on the Möllegabet bow (I even enthusiastically made an unpopular post about it before introducing myself http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,43013.0.html).

I do a lot of target competitions here (and all over Europe) and have gotten really interrested in flight shooting over the years so my bowyering efforts will mainly be targeted on making fast bows :)

I wish you all a good day!
Jules

mullet:
Welcome Jules. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your bows. Everybody likes pictures on this site.

Olanigw (Pekane):
Welcome.

You should try to make a string from hemp.  It would be at least as strong as linen :)

Jules:
I wouldn't know where to get the stuff Olanigw :)

vinemaplebows:
And some of us really like our hemp! ;)
