mdbuckhunter, i'm a little perplexed. you're giving string advice to a fellow in another thread - and you don't seem to know too much about them.
I am going to respond as respectfully as I can....
I am asking what other serving styles people are using because I have seen a few that I question. Example, I just saw a 2" serving for the arrow/loop and then a 2" serving for the kisser, all on the same string. I have also seen a 10"-14" serving that goes from the bottom of the peep all the way down to the STS.
I do my own center servings and I truly enjoy satisfaction I get when I produce something that holds up to any abuse I give it. I also enjoy trying different serving styles out to see what works and what doesn't. Hence my question.
I recently switched from 22 series GT nocks to pin nocks. Two robin hoods this year made me switch. What can I say...I like shooting groups. I found that my Halo serving was too thin. So I needed to remove it. All I have in my archery box is Poly from when I purchased my serving jig. So, as I am sitting here serving I decided to reflect on all the different servings I have seen. Suddenly an idea pops into my head that maybe this would be a good post to make. Maybe somebody else does something that I haven't thought about that I could try.
You will see in a recent post that I had a serving placed on my bow by a shop employee. I had them place the serving on because I was going to shoot techno hunt later that day. My loop started sliding, my arrow wouldn't nock all that well....I failed to ask what type of serving they put on. My conclusion was Halo but I couldn't prove it.
So, in no means are my words the words of the bible.On the same hand, just because you make strings...it doesn't make you an expert either.
Have a nice day.
