string making question
« on: June 21, 2013, 03:40:15 pm »
There is nowhere to buy a string, or materials in my small town.  I need to make a string for my Oak Pyramid bow, and a friend showed me how to make an endless loop, if that is the right term. 

My question is about materials.  I have some spectra power pro fishing line, 50# test, round vs flat shape.  I also have nylon sewing thread my wife uses in her krafts.  Can the fishing line work for a string, and the nylon work for serving?  If it can work, how many strands for a 40-50# bow?

I plan to get some materials online, but I wanted to get something to shoot with this weekend. 

I am asking for problems?

thanks
Scott

Make a 14 strand string and you should be good. But do yourself a favor and get a spool of B50 or FF soon.
