Served string loops on flemish twist strings have been around in the DIY space for a long time. Most people use this same general technique of serving the loop first before counter twisting. I enjoyed seeing the jigs and how fast a skilled string maker can get going. It takes me a long time!
Personally, I put a double layer of string protection material around each loop. It is when you unstring the bow and the string slides on the upper limb that the loop material deteriorates from friction over time, even if the limb is perfectly smooth. Well, from my personal experience, other people's experience may be different of course. Nice day to all and take care.
Nothin new, we use to do this back in the day 40 yrs ago but found it didnt do anything other than bulk up the loops. If your loops are wearing on a regular string before you have 3k to 4k shots on it, its the bow tips that need work...
Yup. Perpendicular serving can open up in time to expose the tensile fibers to wear. A braided sheath or actual braiding (too much work) would be better. If nothing works then the tips are not smoothed enough.
Beautiful! Thank's for sharing that. Even if the normal loops rarely break, it just seems good to not see that normal wear at the loops. I like the innovation and Kaz has my vote!
Does a flemish string have the same stretch as the old Dacron B50? None of my bows are new enough to shoot low stretch, fastflight type strings. I own 35, 40, 45, and 53 pound recurves, plus a long bow that pulls about 40 lbs at my draw length.
OK, I'm gonna make some folks a bit butt hurt. Yes you may have been doing this since 19 digidy whatever but none of y'all bothered to market it. So please, do us all a favor and stop putting him down because he came up with a process to manufacture these strings at an affordable price.
Not putting him down. Lying and marketing are not the same thing. What he has done is taken a technique/method that has been around for decades and then applied a market name 'invincible'.
Who doesn't serve his loops? Well yeah, the ones you can buy ready made don't have that… mostly because Capitalists aren't in it because they like what they do or to make things better, but to make stuff as cheap as possible to maximize the Profits! And serving loops would cost extra… That said, do you sell to good old Europe?
Well, you didn't actually invent anything, what you have done is taken something that has been done for decades and just applied "invincible" to it. So essentially a marketing technique. But the more you bang on about a lie the more you are going to piss people off mate.
invented something that has been used for a long long time for generations, hmmm why not call it a clever use of gadgets and leave the rubbish bull out of it
he said he was sure someone had made it before but he couldn't find it on the market,he wanted to make it available to the market. why do you have such a problem with someone having a business and selling something they like and thought would be good?
Still claiming "invention"?🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's not on the market because it does nothing. If your string loops break at 10,000 shots, the limb tips need work. Serving will get cut just as fast. And the serving that is used on compounds is the same exact serving used on endless loop strings - which if you knew any history, were the stock strings shipped with the factory bows in the 60 thru 80's and by most all factory bows today - including probably every archer in the Olympics' this year.

This tends to be an issue for those of us with production bows. I have strings wear out in a year at the loop because production bows tend to have sharper edges. If you know what you are doing, you can smooth them out but most of us newbies would screw up the bow. So instead we go for a tougher string build.

I'm impressed by how fast he did that.
Y'all made me 2 of these for my TARTAR Style bow from AF Archery! I will never use any other bow string again! THE FINEST! Thank you!

That was some martial arts bowsting making.
I use single-loop flemish-twist strings (that I make). And have never had one fail. I've only had endless loop strings fail on me.

Kaz makes it look easy!
shrink wrap works and is a 100X quicker for non-equiped backyarder.
Great work guys
Great way to build strings, been doing it that way for years...
Too cool
well done
very interesting
stupid question, is this only for traditional archery?
and do you do other colors or is that it?
Great to see! 😊
Does it work with a compound bow
Does a flemish string have the same stretch as the old Dacron B50? None of my bows are new enough to shoot low stretch, fastflight type strings. I own 35, 40, 45, and 53 pound recurves, plus a long bow that pulls about 40 lbs at my draw length.
You can get both a D-97 and B-55 string from company in Flemish string.
👍
Every endless loop string comes with serving on the loops. Every single one.

No not every single one. Mathews don't serve ANY of their own and loops.

Obviously does not care. Ego is more important

Thank you!
Inventing solutions for problems that don't exist. I've been making self bows, with strings, for 12 years. Never had one fail at the loop...ever.
