Hi
I made a stringer for my longbow last night. Since it involved making a string almost as long as the one on my compound I decided to try out using the string material to serve the end loops.
It turned out reasonably well except for uneven tension in the strands. What is the best way to even out the tension when making really long strings?
I had one set of posts in-line with the jig and the other at 90 degrees. When I went around the post on the in-line posts I stacked the strands up vertically - should they go on top of each other instead?
Cheers,
Martin
