For those looking to expand their archery hobby and that like to tinker, nothing beats making your own strings. With a little creativity, you can make a string that stands out in a crowd. With a little practice and the right technique you can also make one better than any commercial string maker - all it takes is a little time and a bit of money to invest in a jig and the string materials. Once the investment is made, you' ll be putting out superior strings in a couple hours for about $8 each.
