string info
How hard is it to do your own servings? Is this something that should be left to the pro shop? Seem once you had the hang of it, it's something that people should be able to do themselves. What do you guys think? Any good videos on this?
The reason I ask, is we don't have a shops very close and my serving broke and I don't want to wait to get it fixed. |
RE: string info
100% do your own servings. It is EASY.
Bohning makes a good video. Also learning from one of the pro shop members is good as well. Good Luck! |
RE: string info
Serving requires some tools and some time. We have one guy at our shop (an older guy) that can serve, or atleast serve well. It will definately take some practice. I second the Bohning video, we played it the other day in the shop. Good instructional video.

It's not hard to do at all.I just did my center serving on my string with little trouble. Like everything, practice makes perfect though.

RE: string info
Thanks guys, I'll check out the video.

RE: string info
They sell a kit(Bohning) That comes with all you need and the vid. I bought that and am glad. Real simple an easy.

RE: string info
The kit comes with most of what you need. Even if you buy the kit I'dbuy either BCY #62 or Brownell Diamondback Center serving. The poly that comes with the kit issoft and comes apart easily and isn't really recommended for the strings on today's bows from what I've read.
Josh did his with BCY #62 .025 I used the Brownell diamondback .026 for comparison reasons. |
RE: string info
You could get the BCY "Making a Bowstring" or Apple archerys "Basic string making" w/Lary Wise. Both show how to do center and end servings. I personaly like the BCY 62 for center and BCY 3-D for ends.

RE: string info
now if you guys want to do nice servings by hand - get the beiter winder. i know it costs 3x what the other ones do - like the really bad bohning tool - but when you use it you'll know why i just said 'the really bad bohning tool'. its the rolls royce of serving tools.
