Title: Need help find quality string makers
Post by: kevman37 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-

I just thought I'd bring this thread back up to mention I just bought some great endless loop strings from tollgatearchery.com.  They make flemish also but I have not tried them yet.

George at Tollgate is very quick with the service too.  Now that he has me on file I just shoot him an email with what I want and he gets it to me within a few days.
