It's a raw hide sting! I live raw hide strings. They are super durable and very easy to make. You just spiral cut a bunch of raw hide stripes and twist them together. But I took that raw hide string off and am now using a yucca string that I made. I am using that Raw hide string on a different bow.
Yucca works supper good for a string too! It's strong and shoots very quickly. It does take a while to make though
And the reason I am okay with taking a little longer is so I can save my raw hide. I also have an abundant access to yucca.
As for the arrowhead, I don't have one on there right now. What you're probably seeing is a piece of electrical tape that I put on there as a marker so know how far to pull back another one of my bows! But I do plan on putting some nice knife river flint arrowheads on my arrows this hunting season!
