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.

I once knew an idiot that didn't talk much. One day he began to speak, the more hespoke the more people discoved he was an idiot... That is how life is, the more you speak the more you show your intellgence.

Yes and yes. I suspect it was the 0.019" Halo braided Spectra. I could have further tested the string by putting it in our tensile machine at work and seeing if it broke at 70lbs. But, my cat got it and destroyed it. At least it went to good use!

Geez, I take a week off for a vacation and I see things don't seem to change and certain people proclaim themselves as a mod or admin when theyaren't either.

The only string advice I've ever heard Josh give or post was from a reputable source concerning the replacement of a string. He was quoting the source and not saying it was his advice.

As I've stated before: Until they make you a mod or an admin on here I think you need to stop calling people out or at least quote them properly. Also, it'sextremely bad form to carry stuff over toother threads which seems to be a habit. If you do not like what someone is saying then ignore it or respectfully offer your professional opinion. I really see no need to try and make yourself feel better in your little world by trying to belittle someone.

This is old and worn out already and reminds me of high school. Someone needs to call the bully hotline or go to the website.

I've said whatI had to say and won't respond to any replies.
