Flemish Question
« on: April 19, 2010, 09:18:00 PM »
Gents,

I was twisting up a new string this evening and had a little bit of an inconsistent twist on one end... One side twisted up nicely, but the other side seems to have a less tight twist.  This happens once the bow is strung.  My question is whether this will affect the performance of the string/bow when shot.  My gut reaction is, no, but... Any advice, experience, etc... is welcomed!
God Bless,
Erik

That means one of the bundles is under more strain than the other. What I do is after I form the first loop I put a twisty on it and stretch it really tight before forming the second loop. That way both bundles will take an equal stain when the string is formed. Jawge
