Hello all. I've decided to jump into attempting to make my own recurve string. No shop where I live carries 8125g, so I decided to learn a new skill. My question is regarding the serving thickness to use. I am going to make an endless 18 strand string and was wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head, which serving thickness would accommodate an Easton small g-nock?
Every time I've had a string made here, the serving is too thin and I end up having to dental floss it to get the nock to fit. If I knew the thickness difference between 8190 (what I'm using now) and 8125g, I could maybe figure it out.
Also, I shoot a Win&Win Inno carbon with long Hoyt GP 720 limbs. The strings made here are 169cm. My recommended bracing height is between 22 - 24cm. A 169 string gets me 23.3 with no twists at all. When I make this string, what length do you think I should set my jig to get an end result of around 170cm with room to twist up and down? I know most of this will be trial and error, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks eh!
