« on: November 05, 2007, 08:58:00 PM »
Well Rod Jenkins is no longer making strings.Prime time strings is no longer taking orders. Chad Weaver is way behind.Who else is making a high quality string ? Looking for a 10 or 12 strand d-97 8125 or ts-1 pre stretched round where the serving stays put.Any suggestions ?

Why not make your own? It's easy and gives you the satisfaction of being able to do one more thing for yourself and not having to depend on someone else to do it for you. Just a simple suggestion.

If you're not too picky, I've been real pleased with the in-stock strings I've been getting from Keystone Country Store.  I just received two, 12 strand, 58" AMO B-50, endless loop recurve strings for $4 each. Tell me how you can beat that?  While I'd prefer Halo serving over the nylon they sell it with; for price how can I complain!  They also sell Fast Flight curve and longbow flemish strings with a very good selection off the shelf.  

If you want something special, wait for Chad Weaver.

Is Goldenhawk, Leroy and Bent Stick Bowstrings all the same cat?

Does he have a website or phone number?

Thanks, Paul

Contact Tom Parsons of Kimsha bows, he makes some of the best strings I have ever seen. He is not very well known, because he doesn't advertise much, but he makes an awesome bow also. Here is his website-

You won't find a better guy to deal with than Leroy.  His strings are on all of my bows.
