string ?
« on: January 13, 2009, 03:21:42 pm »
ok i got a ?  if i have a 69" bow and i want to make a flemish string with a loop on each end.   i measure out 69" subtract 3"  and add 16 for my loops, 8" on each side. my string came out looking pretty good i think. if i put the loop on one end its short about 3", thats right, right?  my ? is, it looks the right length but thats without twisting the string any.  but shouald"nt i have to twist them? or leave untwisted.  if i twist i no it gets shorter and that tightens the bow  but i thought you wanted a tight twisted string to begin with not loose.  hope this makes sence.
