A good trick is to make a 'string shortener', an offcut of 1/4" ply with two holes drilled through with about 1/4" between them.You can thread the string through the holes to adjust the length to suit any bow and th shorten it as tillering proceeds. Make sure the holes are nicely rouned off. It will save a lot of string making and I've even shot those first few arrows using my magic toggle on the string (don't have it to near the tip of the bow els it can bang against the limb.Del
