[pj starrett]

I need a new string for my longbow.  Need some guides on how to get the right measurement so i dont order one that wont work, and then who all do you get strings from?

Check out the sponsors classified section,there are a few stringmakers there.

There are some donated by Oliverstacy you can win in the auction. He makes great strings and is a sponsor here.

Chad Weaver is a sponsor here, using the handle "LBR". He makes great strings and has a really good video on making them called "Doin' the Twist". He's made several for me and they were all perfect.

X2 on Josh of OliverStacy.  Top notch string and the best in customer care!

Measure your current string (inside loop to inside loop) and order that actual length.  Forget about "AMO Standard" string lengths; they are wrong more often than not.

go with chad (LBR) he makes a great string and he is a goodguy to boot....

[Todweelz]

One more for Oliverstacy, great customer service, good guy to deal with. Todd

I'm sure all the sponsors here make great strings.  I get all mine from Chad Weaver.  Great strings, great service.

Lots of good string makers out there, but you should learn to make your own... it is a part of the Trad experience..

I needed a new bowstring for my 66", 37# recurve. I decided to try out one of our members on here who makes bowstrings.

I just received a new bowstring from Chad Weaver (LBR) of Champion Custom Bowstrings. Chad pre-stretches the bowstring too.

I went with a 62", Flemish 2 bundle 12 strand Dyna97 bowstring. The flemish loops are padded with 18 strands.

I really like this new bowstring.....and so does my 37# bow.

X2 on that.  It is fun and you can whip one up in just a few minutes whenever you need one.

Chad made me a great string. Im sure OliverStacy and others can get it done too. We are blessed to have such talent we can call on when we need "stuff".
