We have always just wrapped the first 6" of the string with wool yarn. It works very well and you dont have to mess with sticking anything on the limb itself or worry about the string alignment.
A personal thing, I don't use or recommend Flemish strings on recurve bows as they are noisy (due to the thickness where they hit the limb) and wear out around the limb nock (no serving to protect it). I use endless strings on recurves and Flemish only on longbows and hybrids as the string clears the limb and they seem to cause less wear at the nock.
Just discovered your channel as my kiddo has developed an interest in archery and decided we’d explore together. We really enjoy the content!
Great idea and great tutorial. Just found you. I'm in.
