I just got a new 3 pc TallTines longbow. I have a very short time to get it ready for a bear hunt up in Manitoba. Rather than have Brian send an extra string with it, I called up Josh Sowerby and ordered up one of his 450+ longbow strings.
THE NEXT DAY my Oliverstacy string showed up in the mail. Every time I get something from Josh I am impressed with the quality and the service. When you open up the package and you are greeted by all this great information, how can you not be impressed?

Write down which bow the string is for on the back of that little tag and you are set for life! Need a new string, using different nocks that are tight or loose? You know exactly what you had and where to go with the new string.
I don't have time to post a bunch of detailed photos showing how perfect the loops and servings are, but they are all in Josh's ad in The Sponsors Classifieds here:

I've thought about trying to make my own strings, but with the quality and service that Josh provides I gave up on that idea. He gets all of my business.
They are perfect!
Josh gets all of my business as well...you just can't go wrong!
All my bows wear Josh's strings. Can't beat'em. I'm like Whip, I ocassionally think about starting to build my own, then realize I'd never get them better. I'd rather spend the time practicing.
If Josh makes 'em, why does Oliver get credit?

Top Shelf strings.....Top Shelf man to do business with.
These are the only strings that go on my Widows now.
Great service too.

My wife asks the same question... :knothead:
Thanks for all the kind words!!! I've been busy this year and looking forward to more.
Here's a small sample of strings that didn't make the grade (Oliver wasn't happy :banghead: ):

They are all I have used lately. Very personalized service and unbelievably fast delivery.
I tell him no rush and they are in the mail the next day.
I just recieved 2 strings in the mail last week from Josh, I told him to take his time, I'm in no hurry, I recieved them in a few days ! And that was telling him to take his time !
:thumbsup:
I also asked him a million questions about going to fast flight string, he answered them all for me !

I never thought there was that much to making a proper string till I bought some from Josh. I'm very happy with those.
Received two strings from Josh yesterday. Fast service and a great sting.
Great service, great strings..all I use.
Has done an excellent job for me, but it appears his nail polish could use a touch up.
I'm amazed that Josh is able to make such great strings and so quickly with two right hands. I wonder if it effects his shooting? :biglaugh:
All my bows have Josh's strings on them too. He's got all my string business for as long as he wants to build em'.
With Service like that, I have a new string maker. My last one made the crappiest strings I ever shot. I was the maker
Josh is SUPER awesome!! One heck of a good guy and builds a perfect string! :cool:
Just exchanged a few e-mails today with Josh. One of his strings is in my future. This is another round of happy customers.

What awesome customer service!
I just got my new skinny D-10 string from Josh for my son's Mohawk 40lbs @28 inch, 64 inch long.
Results of new vs old string @ 30 inch draw ...
Old fast flight string produced the following: 157.5 - 162 FPS with arrows of varring weights
New D-10 skinny string produced the following: 164 - 170 FPS with same arrows.
515 grain arrow seem the best for hunting, flying about 167 FPS from a D bow at 46 pounds( at my draw). I think that is pretty good stuff!!
WOW, that sure woke that Mowhawk up man! It is real quiet, have way better preformance and looks awesome!! Plus I recived it very quickly to boot!
Thanks Josh, I love the string, so does my son!
Bob.
i watched Josh make some strings about 2AM in my living room a few yrs ago. The guy is meticulous and pays close attention to detail. O/S strings on all my bows from here on out...
