Anyone know offhand what the string length on the Liberty is? The sticker is worn off and I'm ordering a backup string. Thanks

go to [link]http://www.bowtecharchery.com[/link] and download the manual for your bows year and it will have the spec's.

Just going to make sure I can do this.. But I looked at the manual online and it says I need a 90 1/8" string. My friend happens to have a 90.5" string that he bought as a backup and never used and will give it to me. I can twist it to make it that 3/8" shorter correct? Thanks.

You might give it a try but take care to see if the end servings and center serving for the idler are in the correct positions and long enough to protect the strands of the string from the cam and idler. You don't want too many twists in the string. Depending on the exact build length of your friend's string, it might be very close, or far from, exactly 90 1/8 inches. I'd personally opt for the best you could afford for a spare/replacement string and cable. I build my own for my bows and it's fun and rewarding. Look into string making to enhance your archery hobby, you might just discover that you have more friends than you thought

I will definitly reserve them if needed. If I get the tuning gap the correct length, and retwist it after the string settles, it should be easy to tune right? This wont damage the bow having twist in the string will it?

Whats the initial startup cost of getting into string making?

Too many twists in your string can weaken it and cause it to "fuzz up" easily because more stress is added to the fibers of the string material. You do need some twists in the string to keep the serving tight. Hopefully, all the servings are going the same way and I just twist the string the opposite way the serving is wound to keep the servings tight. For starters I like to get the string length close with about 15 to 20 twists (for a single cam string) and then do the end and center servings under about 200 pounds of tension (all I can apply with my set up).
If you can work with wood, you can make your own jig for very little money. A string serving tool is only about $14.00 , use .018 inch serving for the loops and end servings and .021 for center serving. A 1/4 pound spool of string material will cost about $35 to $40. You can make a good number of strings and cables with a spool of material and two spools of serving
