How To Build A Great Bowstring
How To Build a Great Bowstring
Chad Weaver, owner of Champion Custom Bowstrings, and Rod Jenkins, IBO champion & archery coach, have nearly 50 years of string building experience and have made more than 10,000 bowstrings. In this comprehensive video, they share their string building secrets with you, including how to build 2 bundle, 3 bundle and endless loop bowstrings. This was originally produced as a DVD by Traditional Vision Quest, the producers of the acclaimed "Masters of the Barebow" series, and sold for $25.99.
This informative video is now available as an immediate mp4 digital download that you can enjoy from your desk-top computer, laptop, or mobile device. Please note: if you are purchasing bowstrings or other items from this site, you must purchase your video download as a separate, stand-alone order, in order to get taken to your video download page.
An additional note from Chad Weaver: This video is over 80 minutes long with the bulk of it being information. You can't get that from any on-line free videos. As noted in the video intro, this information is based on the experience of building literally thousands and thousands of strings. I have also been BCY's "traditional consultant" at events like the ATA and IBO for the past 16 years. Even so, you might want to modify your own techniques… this is just what we have found to work. Since it was filmed in 2011, our methods may have changed slightly but the information is still solid and still applies to all manufactured string materials. For any questions about building strings, string or serving materials, etc. feel free to contact me. Cell: 662-231-4817 Shop: 662-652-3499 e-mail: Chad@recurves.com. I attend lots of events and I'm always eager to discuss strings in person. If you need help or advice choosing or purchasing string materials, serving, wax, etc., please contact me for assistance.
