Love the fishing pole technique, I use it all the time for many different things. Learnt it in year 4 making a fishing pole and now I have all the old timers coming over for fishing pole repairs. Great tecnique!
PHEW! Thank God, I was worried I would need to get a serving jig in order to make my own strings properly (the serving on mine is getting some wear and tear, and when it happened on my last string, all the serving below the nocking point came off. Dacron string wore out till eventually it snapped when I shot an arrow). Saw the materials and jigs online, and now I'm just grateful that I can do it by hand since it's not as precise as re-fletching. So yeah, thanks for showing this, just what I was hoping for
Nice video. I live a few hours from a bow shop. Season opens in 6 days, just had a serving go to hell while practice shooting today.. I've known the knot, just never gave it a thought that's the one you could use.. thank you!!
My last bowstring came with plastic string serving........absolute garbage. Thanks for the video, I'm going to remove the plastic junk and wrap it up with some Spider Wire fishing line.
With a compact crossbow I can’t find a tool that is small enough. I will have to learn to do it manually. I have a AR6 Stinger 2 repeating crossbow and already wearing out in a month. I have extra stings but this will save my from having to keep replacing strings.
I shoot traditional bows and have always made and served my own strings, but this is an interesting variation on installing serving. By the way, I am never without my Leatherman and a sharp knife, and for sure would not be out hunting without either or both. Good video.
bowman321123 Thank you I appreciate that. I came up with this technique when I was serving one day and remembered how my dad ties his fishing poles. I applied that to this and it works quite well. I will say that doing it the regular way feels more secure and stronger. Thanks!
thanks, for sharing i made my first string today and didn't have any serving tools to work with as i am new. I honestly have no idea what happened at the end there for tying it off, it was way to fast and blurry... i just tied and burnt mine and its staying fine :P
Syriph Awesome! One thing I did not do in the video is serve the string in the same direction the string was made. That’s something to consider in the future.
EVERY bowhunter should have a sharp knife AND a good multitool on him AT ALL TIMES! A serving tool and thread is not very heavy, you could have one in your pack and serve a string in your stand or in camp. No excuse for not having some basic tools on you when you're hunting. This isn't the stone age here guys.
shaun schollaert the the beautiful thing about this method, you do not need a string spreader. I would only do it this way if I wasn't near a shop or didn't haven't a press available
shaun schollaert I would if I had option to I feel it holds better. But you can do it both ways lots of guys do it with spreading the string. Different strokes for different folks :)
Your serving opposite the twist of the string, I was always taught to wrap the same direction as the twist of the string but that may be wrong not sure, anyone else know for sure?
Glock 1 I haven’t heard that but I can see how it would make sense to do it in the same direction as the string. I’m sure both ways would work, but it may be easier on the string doing it the way you were taught. Thanks for watching!
I've heard that also because in hyper accurate competition the direction of the serving can loosen the string a minuscule amount decreasing string speed and effect the accuracy. At least that's the theory. For the everyday shooter it really doesn't really matter.
My biggest tip to you is, learn to back serve. None of that loop business required. Another tip.. 'Don't want any sharp objects near my string' Okay. Swiss Army Knife. Solved. Has Pliers, Knife, Scissors, etc.
@@PMOUTDOORS24 I was not trying to brag but I try to keep the mindset of a penny saved is a penny earned. My hobby started as a way to get strength back in my arm after i got burned. Soon I found myself thinking in what ifs. Now I find it enjoyable to build my bows with as little as possible. Guess what it works!
To much talk. Why dont you people just gett on with the thing you suppose to show? Watched two minute of this video, paused it, wrote this message and put you on "never-watch-again-shit-list". Have a good day.
Imagine complaining about someone putting in the effort to potentially help you and others for free. I realize this comment is over a year old and you might not feel the same way. Just wanted to point out that logic because I get a ton of negative commenters on my channel when I'm literally just trying to help people.

Clever! Since I'm too old to hunt I won't really need this but it was really interesting to see. Thanks for this.
well dam, great instructional video. you save me some $$$$
Glad it helped!
Excellent video, thanks!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! I learned it from my dad who built fishing poles for years. Definitely a good trick to have up your sleeve.
They taught you that in school?
Thanks Garrett, I've still quite new to the archery scene but my bowstring is knackered. Will give this a try to get it back to form.

Good. I can use this method to serve the string that hits the string stopper. Lazy to use a bow press even though I have one.

Kevin Stecher glad I could help!
Good video. Thank u
Thanks for watching
Too be a more independent hunter and archer!
Thanks for this informative video.
Thanks for watching!
thank you very much! cool trick!
Great video!!

Thank you! It's not too far off from tying a knocking point.

Garrett Weaver do you mean i should serve in the same direction? Or i should serve in the opposite direction?
Syriph same direction as the string :)
What kind of drain is it thank you for telling ne your hand does not hurt
Pretty slick..
Thanks man.
Thank you.
Robert Brunston You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
i need to watch this over & over to comprehend the process

Hi im new to sport but what do you use the string spreader for when your doing that serving?
shaun schollaert the the beautiful thing about this method, you do not need a string spreader. I would only do it this way if I wasn't near a shop or didn't haven't a press available
Yeah but you wouldnt use a string spreader to do the centre serving right
shaun schollaert I would if I had option to I feel it holds better. But you can do it both ways lots of guys do it with spreading the string. Different strokes for different folks :)
how do i remove my old serving?
From the side cut one piece of the string with a sharp knife, be careful not to cut the actual steing tho

Sumona Florence exactly . Made this wrap a lot more involved than needed.
All I use is a knife even when I make bow.
Nice!

Have a fantastic day.
