There are a couple of video’s available from 3Rivers.

They have their own video which gives a good tutorial on making a 2 bundle string.

The other video they have is called “doing the twist” by a couple of hot sweaty guys in Mississippi. It is much longer and more in depth and shows how to make 2 and 3 bundle strings and endless loop strings, among other things.

I found both video’s interesting, but if I had to just get one, it would be doing the twist….

3Rivers string making jig comes with a brochure that you can use to make a string if you don’t want to buy a video and a jig.

You can always make a jig yourself…

Bottom line, once you start making strings, you will save some money and end up with better strings more suited to your bow.

Have fun!

Yup, “Doin the Twist” is a very good string making DVD.

When I camp for extended periods of time I take a small tackle box with everything I need to make strings. Great way to spend some time on one of those days when the weather says it is time to take a break from hunting.

BTW, I use D97 and am a big believer in the modern string materials, especially on my self bows.

Have fun and
