just wondering how many of y'all use a string with no center serving ?
I realize that the center serving helps with durability but I like the looks of this particular unserved string
on a hickory scalloped bow that I just finished up.
-
thats how i roll!
-
I don't use it
-
I like a tight center serving and use it on most all of my strings although I have a couple bows stung without. I consider the serving the finishing touch on my strings.
-
Nope, never on my stave bows.
-
I started doing it out of laziness . . . just didn't feel like putting one on a string and found out that I got by fine. In theory you should get a dash more arrow speed without one.
-
U could wrap a little 1" piece that u put the arrow on. That way it saves durability and u can have less strings in your string making it faster
-
For you guys that don't serve your bow strings, what kind of string material are you using?
-
serve....serve....serve.
-
don't use it, sir. Just plain old strings, also big knocks that will NOT keep the arrow on the string either.
rich

I shoot 3under so it helps with a serving that keeps the nocks snugly.
The serving also helps with consistancy,specially with flemish strings as they have a way of not being truly round.
So yes i serve my strings.

I did it both ways but perfer serving. Only because I wax my sering and my fingers.
HOWARD HILL DID THIS he also used power or a rasine ball like base ball pitchers. I also use this before. No serveing works really good with power.
Both really helps out with releaseing and tighter groups.

I use linen and definitely serve for durability and seems to give a cleaner release. I usually have to play with the diameter of the serving to get proper knock fit also.
