Great job. It's a nice feeling being able to be more self sufficient and making your own strings. I bet you can't wait to get some center serving on that sucker and put it through its paces.

Re: Made My first Strings Today
Congratulations on a job well done. That is a useful skill that I need to pursue as well. What is the cost to get everything needed to make strings? How did you decide on what string to use? Where did you purchase everything you need to make your own? I guess I need to use the search feature to research it. GREAT JOB!
What you do next reflects what you believe.

Re: Made My first Strings Today
Thanks guys. Most of the materials came off ebay . The most expensive part is the jig , My dad made mine years ago . Theres alot of very smart people on here that would be glad to help if asked . Like I said Xcaliber was a great help to me .

Re: Made My first Strings Today
Very nice, great looking work! I'm interested in doing this too. Where does one find the proper dimensions for string lengths and fiber types on the various models?
Re: Made My first Strings Today
What xbow are you interested in building a string for lake shooter ?

Re: Made My first Strings Today
I too wouldn't mind learning how to make my own Flemish strings. I've searched the net a few times but there seems to be very little info that is crossbow specific. I like the idea of being self sufficient and it would give me something to do when I travel for work (other than browse Xbow forums...
