Linen string question

(1/3) > >>

Selfbowman:
How many strands of linen for 110# bow . I have 5  count Linen.

bownarra:
You need to do a set of break tests on your particular thread. Make sure you don't use knots - just friction.
Once you have the strength of your thread divide that number into 440 or perhaps 550 if you want a string with plenty of strength in reserve.

Selfbowman:
Thanks !

Selfbowman:
Flemish string ok?

bownarra:
Yes no problem.
