Hey guys, I’ve been building my Flemish strings for years, for others from time to time.
I have a friend now that’s a lefty. Do I need to try to twist a string backasswards? That may not be so easy for me. My hands just know what to do my way. Kinda like instinctive shooting, if I think on it I’m screwed.
I looked into two different retailers sites for purchasing a Flemish string. There was no option for right/left hand choice.
So??????

I don’t think it matters about the string.
But I would wrap the serving so that as the fingers come off it, they are pulling to tighten it.
When I serve a bow for me (rh) I lay the bow with the top limb to my left and I wrap the serving from bottom to top going clockwise (viewed from the top limb looking into the end of the string)
I’ve done a couple lefty’s and when I do those bows, I just flip the bow over so that the bottom limb is to my left and I serve from top to bottom.
That way, I don’t have to change my routine. I’ve had no complaints (‘cept from my wife and kids).

Hi..I’m new on this forum, but, being a lefty I always wrapped my seving as explained above. I’ve found out the hard way.
