After hours of you tube videos i decided to give it a whack at making my own 3 bunch flemish string.
Made the jig, and started going along. after a few practice runs at getting the twists right, I finally had a completed string. looked pretty good too.
I strung it on my bow and before I could let out all of the tension of my stringer the top end unraveled or just came apart? It did not look real loose and I had about 5" of splice. with it off the bow I took the other loop that is still intact, put it on a hook and gave it some good pulls. Sturdy as an OX.
Why did this happen? At this point I am nervous as can be about putting git on my bow, I would not like to have it go at full draw.
16 strands of B-50, 64" 62# bow
Thanks,
