Strings

[huntertrapper]

for using B-50 how to you make or tie the loops at the ends of the string?

[Hillbilly]

I braid a Flemish loop in one end and tie the other end to the bow with a timber hitch.

LOST?! flemish, sorta. timber hitch?

[Hillbilly]

The timber hitch or bowyer's knot is traditionally used to tie the bottom end of the string off.



This link will show you how to braid the loop (you don't need the jig, just don't have the strands all the same length so that the ends line up. You want the ends to be staggered):

You don't need the second loop, either-the timber hitch works great and is adjustable.
