Bow strings, Made by Me
 
I started using compound bow about 6 months, in that time frame I tried to learn as much is i can, decide to build my own bow strings, after noticing PSE stinger x comes with the cheaper strings that only lasted 5 months or somewhere around 1500 shots...
so i build my bow strings jigs and bought the material BCY452x and recommend servings, after spending 10 plus hours, make my first strings that better than mass production.... its easy but material cost quite a bit... at least i can make 10 plus strings sets that materials i have... good luck and have fun...

Looks good! I’ve only made them for my traditional bows but It’s always the servings that I can’t make last.

Thanks for the feedback... Serving materials are quite different, depending on where the serving has to done and use for it... i used 3d halo everywhere, loops 0.007 halo, nock point power grip 0.14, bus cable 0.14 halo... first I followed idea that sticking tape on a string so you can see the tension or turn when you serve but I noticed serving separate around the cams, so I searched little bit and i came cross a article that wrote by world champion archer who builds his bow strings, so I followed his techniques and worked well, so tight serving as much is pinching the strings, and make sure serve everything at 300lbs stretched stage...
