Title: Fast custom string supplier - Help!!!
Post by: suttoman on January 16, 2007, 02:01:00 AM

I tried to order a hot new string for my new Renegade bow - I want to screw a few more FPS out of her.  I contacted 'Great Strings' but Rod is snowed under with orders and is currently not taking any new orders for strings in the foreseeable future!

Can somebody please put me onto another supplier who can make a nice little 10 strand number from 8125, with padded loops.  You will make one Ausse lad very happy!

Cheers - Sutto

Try Chado,  www.recurves.com (http://www.recurves.com)    I'm sure if he can he'll gladly help ya, makes some fine strings and is a pleasure to do buisness and chat with!

You might contact Blacktail Bows and see if Norm's wife can make you up one. I asked for a string for my recurve and in 3 days it was in my hands! But it was for one of their bows. I don't know how much that played into it.

suttoman, a flemish string is really easy to make. There may be a tutorial here on the subject, if you do a search

10 strand from 8125?? Wow, that's going to be one tiny string!

A standard 8125 is 16-18.
