Hi all. I've just gotten into string making with some not too bad results. Just a few q's though...
I pull 48lbs on the fingers on a 70 inch W&W inno carbon. I don't know why it's different from my old horizon but there is about a 3/4" difference I have to adjust for on the jig. That's no big deal.
I tried 8190 and really didn't like it too much, it felt like I had a steel cable on it, so I decided to try 8125G. So far, it seems pretty nice.
When making a string, I know that BCY recommends 18 strands, but this seems like some sort of liability #### covering to me. If I can prestrech 16 strands at 350lbs for an hour, I don't think my bow is going to do much to it. Or is this regarding limb wear?
Anyway, I like to use easton small g nocks. With 16 strands if I use halo .021, I get a nice fit. However, if I use 18 strands, the thickness is already somewhat snug on my nock. So .021 is out, even .019 would force me to use a bigger nock. For my end servings I use halo .014, is this suitable as a centre serving as well?
