Wow, look at those colors! Looks good. How many tries did it take you? I' ve done a couple so far, some total failures and some very close but none that I really totally happy with so far. I supose that' s just me.

Here' s the original thread for Buzco to get caught up.

It took 2 tries on each of the 3. The lengths were slightly off and the number of twists in each were not anywhere near the same. For example, the first string had a moderate number of twists and I was happy, but I did not get it served in a way I was happy with. It was too loose. The first split cable looked good, but on the advice of my proshop I remade it the way Hoyt makes their split harness, or should I say saddled harness since they do not split the yolk on their cables so I made that one again. On the other cable the finished string was the exact length and needed 0 twists in it to get the cams timed properly. Well I could not stand that so I remade that one and they now have between 10 - 15 twists in each of them and they look fairly uniform. I put them through the works this past Sunday shooting them about 150 times, cumlinating in a 3D shoot where I shot a 175 and finished 3rd in the hunter class. So far no creep at all, and abso.lutely no peep rotation. I love these things.

i have already ordered some green and brown string material and serrving material to make some " camo" strings for hunting season.

Reylamb,
Those are great looking strings!
You should be proud of yourself, not everyone can consistantly make good strings and cables.
