I`m sure this has been beat to death but i`d like to make my own string jig and was hoping someone had a link to a set of plans.

I don't use a jig at all. I just take the string length I need, add 16" to that measurement, and drive two nails at that distance into a wall or workbench. That becomes your bundle length, and you can go from there.

Dave,
Here's a link to a compact jig with plans, 13" long.

Another link to the jig I'm currently using.

If you want give me a call and I'll bring one up and you can copy it.

I skipped the 3d shoot and went to the range instead and spent 2 hours working on form at 40 to 60 yards. Found out I was moving a lot more than I thought when releasing. Also found that my arrows were showing a little on the weak side.
Think maybe I'll go back and bare shaft at those distances and see what results are.

Those look pretty easy to build. I`m going to order some Dacron & serving material when I get back from the anniversary trip and i`ll give ya a call. You can show me how work that jig and maybe we can stick a few arrows at my house.
 Many thanks to all for the plans.

I understand how the swivel arm jigs work but i`m confused on how the one with all the pegs works.

David, see if this picture helps.
The line is begun at the top left by jamming it into a cotter pin. From there it goes to the right, down, etc. When it comes back up the left side it turns the corner at the second row, third row, etc. That way when you cut the line between those nails the ends are tapered.

 

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
