Can anyone help me here, please?
I need a 14 strand B50/B55/B500 string building that measures 41½" OAL. Bottom loop is ½" & the top loop is 1½"

Everyone I've asked so far has told me that 44" is as short as they can go & I'm completely stuck. I don't have the know-how to be able to twist up my own & I have just finished building a really pretty, 44" pony bow & she's just sitting here begging to be shot!

Obviously I'm more than happy to pay for a string, I just need to find someone to build the thing.

Is the bow a recurve or longbow?

Check with some of the youth bow makers like Black Rhino or Maddog.  They have bows shorter than 44".  I'll look thru some of my short strings and see if I have anything.

Hey Rob. I can twist a B50 string up for you. I've got black brown green and white and some red or green Dacron serving. Might take me a lil time due to some things going on. Let me know. Sent you a PM
Ask me about the Professional Bowhunters Society.
