Which serving for B-50 strings?
«

I have made my own strings for a couple of years (B-50 only so far). For serving, I have been using #4 nylon. It's okay, but now I want to upgrade to something more durable for a serving. I know I could go with halo, but it's pretty expensive.
If I did buy halo or some fast flight type material, I still don't know what diameter would work best for a 14 strand B-50 string to fit Bohning Classic index nocks. Any help out there?

I suppose you are talking endless string here?!
I employed my string diameter formula - feed with your datas - and would advise any .020" or .021" serving for you.
String diamter would be 3.05mm or 3.11mm and 11/32" Bohning classic nocks are 3.05mm wide.
I use #4 only for loop servings and like Monofil-Nylon #15, #18, #21 for the center serving.
[25.4mm = 1"]

Scott with a 14 strand B50 .022 brownell Diamondback serving works great with Classics.

I build primarily dacron strings for myself and have been using Halo. I really like this stuff, except for the price. Still, you cannot wear this stuff out, even if your arm slaps the heck out of the string on every shot!
I use .018 diameter on my 14 strand strings.
