Update on 120# yew warbow - I don't like to complain, but...
PatM:
Sounds like you're twisting something the wrong way. Can you post a pic?
WillS:
Yep, here ya go!
As far as I'm aware, nothing's twisting itself undone. I've made Flemish strings the same way for years, and never had a problem before. It's something to do with the weight I guess. Something I'm doing is fine for low poundage bows, but can't hold up to the heavier stuff?! No idea!
Del the cat:
You really need one good long non stretch string and one of these.
It will save you sooooo much grief.
It's the Del the Cat Adjust-a-string available at a workshop near you.

WillS:
If you box it up, and draw a bow on the front I'll give you fifty quid for it!
WillS:
As a follow-on, how do you guys work out the correct length for an endless loop string? Is it the exact distance of the bow nock-to-nock, then you twist to accommodate for the initial stretch, or do you make it shorter than the n-t-n length?
