You can crimp electrical connectors to each end instead of braiding loops. This depends on what your cams allow for and how creative/innovative one is with attachment methods.
Just out of general curiosity, i can see that the eye you make will work very well up to a certain point. i would guarantee for high power draws it will fail as the way you basically make the eye, it doesnt choke itself. Why not splice it the same way you would splice a steel wire rope for heavy duty applications. The splice in itself will choke harder around itself the harder you draw on it. Whats the practicallity if you should splice? How will it perform if you compare it to this eye you made?
I tried this one a little over 10 years ago for my pistol crossbow. I thought it would work. I was wrong. First shot, it snapped. I was shocked cause I thought it would hold up.
You make the loop in the cable the hardest way possible .. you got the right idea you just do it terrible lol just split the damn cable in two strands .. and make a loop and wrap it back over on itself and it wraps up perfectly.... I don't know why you separated it in so many different strands
Lol I've been making loops on cables for 10+ years . For fall protection and guide wires .. you do it the hardest way possible . You can get the exact same outcome only so much easier .. but keep doing you bubba .. lol
@@kylehughes5627 Similar idea i have if you would acctually do a splice (what we call it / not sure what you guys will call it) But its where you weave the strands through one another going up and under while rotation the strands back around the bottom part of where you weave it in. Bit of a hassle to do it, but extremely strong and durable. We used it on lifting applications, when i still did that
Metal is a disgusting bowstring material! It's heavy and stretches a lot! Use special materials: fastflight, dacron, dyneema, lavsan. They are much lighter, do not stretch and are very tear-resistant.
