My Horton needs new serving on the ends of the string (not sure that is what it is called but on the end of the bow string where it goes around the pulley the servinghas broke) Just wondering if I could use normal crossbow serving or is there a cetain kind that I need? It looks like it is smaller in diamater than the serving at the nock point. Should I just get a new bow string?
Hmmm seems to be a slightly different quote.... The advice you got is excellent. My advice is the same, get a new string. To reserved the ends you'll need to cut the serving material to expose the part of the string that creates the loop and then put it on a jig that tensions the string. Buying a couple of strings is way cheaper than buying or making four post string jig. Now if a string strand is broken(like in a previously quoted post) your safety margin has been made smaller so toss the string either way.
