String Serving question

Post by chuckinator »

I want to serve my xbow strings and saw the video on how, but what do you all use to hold the string tight. I don't want to invest in a bunch of $ for a bow string jig. I don't plan on making my own strings but want to re-serve strings where the serving is worn . thanks

On Boo's website he has a plan for making a simple jig to stretch strings. Its a couple of 2x's, really simple plan that works great.( Boocustomstrings) I'm sure it on the forum as well, try a search, bet you find it.
