have you used his strings?  do they settle in within a handful of shots and then no peep rotation?  do they wear well/last without being able to turn the peep out of place and it stays out of place?  serving ends around cams and else where hold up well without separation?

 

not being antagonistic just curious.  those are some of the things I consider with strings.

[chiefbkt]

Yes I use them. We shoot in a league together once a week and he's done mine and several others from the league, including the owners of Copper John sites/Stan releases. I've probably got 1000 or more shots on them and have seen no peep rotation, servings and ends around cams still look great.

Here are some examples of what he can do.

Does he make endless loop strings or Flemish Strings?

[chiefbkt]

Endless loop

[dbHunterNY]

nice... sounds like great strings.  endless loop strings don't allow as of a range for twisting as do Flemish strings I've used on traditional bows but I can work around that.  I'd rather buy from someone in NY if the quality and everything is there.

[chiefbkt]

He really does nice work

Endless strings made properly for trad bows don't need much adjusting. The ones I offer are made to actual string length (not AMO) are are pre-stretched. Seldom need more than a few twists after the 1st 20 shots or so. BCY X or Rhino with several silencer options.

I've seen several sets of WK's - great work and excellent value.

have you found that once tuned for the most stabile/quietest brace height in the beginning of the process with another string (I've got Flemish twist strings now), a bow will tune close to that brace height for multiple sets of strings (say endless loop)?  if that's the case I could see you getting around the small amount of twists.  I've just stuck with multiple stock sets of identical strings straight from Bear Archery.

[SteveB]

With similar string materials, it should be real close.

I like to hit the target length with 1 twist per 1 1/2 to 2".

Still room to twist brace hgt up 1/2" if needed at least.
