@gravitomagneticpower
@gravitomagneticpower 3 года назад
Can You help me please? I am trying to understand one thing... Do I understand it correct that there is no knot looping the thread? If so what holds the string together so that it does not wind up and extend over time? Is it the accumulated force of the serving strain? If so is it safe to make heavy crossbow bowstring using this method? Is there a danger of wind up when the crossbow is cocked? Thank you! I will be grateful for the answer...

@golfnutt1969
@golfnutt1969 7 лет назад
Great video. I've watched a lot of videos on this and many guys don't pull their loop ends even (you do this at the 9:32 mark), but rather stagger them, having one end extend a bit longer so that when served together, you end up with a cleaner finish. Have you ever done this? Is there a reason not to?
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 7 лет назад
I have, over the years, tried almost every method, and your suggestion is a good one. But, there are pros and cons to your suggestion so I thought, for this beginning video, I would keep it simple. Adding the comments about staggering the ends would have taken another minute or even two, if I wanted to explain, and the video was already quite long. However, let me offer the other sides on this issue. While it does, as you suggest, make it a more 'feathered' finish on the string side, the loop side is the same. Also, the overlap area is a little longer. Two ideas I have also used that work very well are: 1- Bring the loop serving ends even, and then beginning the combined string serving flush to those ends and having no overlap. Over time, a little gap forms between the loop serving and the string serving, leaving the string exposed, but it never wears on the string since it is stepped away from the limb by the thickness of the serving thread. 2- Here's a cool idea that works very well. Do as you suggest, and leave the loop ends uneven. Then, begin the combined string serving over the longer end of the loop but flush with the shorter end. THis works very well. As you can see, once I opened that door, the topic just kept expanding, so I decided to keep it straight down the middle and not confuse the topic and make the video too long. Thank you for your suggestion, and it has me thinking about another video, specifically on the end servings, showing all these ideas... but maybe that's better left for people to figure out as they gain experience.

@davidcastle3292 7 лет назад
nice video, is there a general start length and twist rate to get a finished length? for my compound there is a formula of extra length then amount of twist to get finished. i hear recurve does not need a ton of twist. i am newish to olympic recuvre but keen to make some strings. i was given a set of short limbs and have a 25" riser, so would make a 66" bow. i usually have a 70" with longs, i did make a string but it has lots of twist and looks just like my compound string. cheers, thanks for your insights
@davidcastle3292
@davidcastle3292 7 лет назад
also, is there any need to pre stretch a recurve string? i stretch and then server after it gets stable(350#)
@davidcastle3292
@davidcastle3292 7 лет назад
i did follow this method and made some 25/short strings, they came out great, the end serving/ back serve 4 method is great.
@davidhefner5668
@davidhefner5668 3 года назад
I'm guessing here...but the spool being used....is it a 1/8# size? So if one was to get a 1# spool how do you get the string transfered the thread to the serving tool?
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 3 года назад
The serving material is not the same material as the main string. I experimented several times putting Dynaflight 97 onto the serving spools, and wasn't pleased with the result: the material is too thin, and doesn't wear well.

Thank you for such an interesting and detailed tutorial. Might I ask what jig you are using? Thanks from the UK ;-)
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 7 лет назад
My jig is the BCY Yellowstone jig. It is nice and solid and very rigid, so I like it very much. I have seen other nice brands but I don't know the brands, or if they're still available. I use this one, with our team, to make 100 - 150 strings per year and it has not failed me in 5 years, so I am pleased with it. It's available on Lancaster Archery, but they're not cheap (about $500)
@muhammadhelbi2996
@muhammadhelbi2996 3 года назад
Sir which bow string is best..
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 3 года назад
A lot of different opinions. I personally prefer Dynaflight 97 . It's very common and popular. Typically 16 strands. Another popular string is 8125, but since that is a slightly narrower diameter, people often use 18 -20 strands.

Just wanted to say this video has been a big help, thank you for making it. Started making some strings very recently - some freebies for my club beginner bows with cheap Dacron - before trying anything with expensive string materials! That is to come in future. They turned out OK even though I made some mistakes along the way. The trickiest part I found was closing up the loops neatly.

Hi. When you twist the string, you do it clockwise or the other way round? Thanks and regards. Julio
@simulacrae
@simulacrae 4 года назад
That depends on if you're making a string for a left hand bow or a right hand. You want the turns to strenghten when releasing the arrow. So clockwise for a right handed and counter clockwise for left handed bows.

Thank you for this video! It is the best on RU-vid. I built my own jig and have made several strings. I find your method to be the most sensible. I would like more info on number of strands per application! I have D97, 8125 and B55 materials. The B55 is only for vintage bows.. Anyhow, I have bows in the household with 15#, 29#, 35#, 45# and 60#. I also have a 50# vintage bow but I think it's down for the count as the upper portion of the limb is twisted and quite a bit weaker than the lower :( . Anyhow, strands for X number of pounds draw weight would be great! At least for the D97 and the 8125. I just want the minimum number of strands for low weight but enough that performance does not suffer in other areas. Thanks!

I do, on my own strings, but I didn't mention this in the video because it isn't critical and I had concern that I would not be able to emphasize the importance of not overheating the material.

Do you stretch the string after?
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 6 лет назад
If you are using a high end string material like Dyna 97 or equivalent, the stretch will be minimal. Dacron, which I don't use, will stretch. However, even without stretching, after adding a few twists, there will be a little 'settling in'. But this is nothing that an extra twist or two can't take care of. The only pre-stretch I do is to put the string on the bow and pull it back a few times to set it in. Then I adjust the twists as part of the tuning process with the arrows.

@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 6 лет назад
Yes, you are correct. You are, no doubt, referring to the note on the bottom of the screen at 1:10. What I was trying to say was that most popular string materials are either pure or some blend of these materials. I said it rather poorly, and when I noticed that sloppy error in my wording, I added an annotation to the video through the youtube tools. Unfortunately, they have done away with those annotations and it is no longer there, and it cannot be re-added. At this point I am left with two choices - Redo the entire video, or leave the error. Since the error is only on the video for 7 seconds and it doesn't affect any of the practical instruction, I have decided to leave it. I think I will add a note in my description to point this error out.

what's your microphone?? Love your audio!!
@ArcheryWinchester
@ArcheryWinchester 6 лет назад
When I make a video, I have about 10 independent recorders placed everywhere, including under the jig, taped to my back, and just off screen in every direction. When putting the video together, I use the best audio track and. That covers about 60% of the 'on screen' talking. If I am narrating or talking off screen, I record while filming, but re-record in an acoustic room. Finally, for some of the parts where you see me talking, I don't get an acceptable audio from any of my devices. In these cases, I sit in an acoustic room andwatch the video, while listening with a headset, and record a track to dub into the video soundtrack. In short, it's a lot of work, but it is important, On some of my earliest videos I didn't do this and the audio isn't that good. On this video I spent a ot of time on the sound because I felt it was very important to the teaching process.
