Usually custom bows come with flemish strings. Bear bows, martin bows come with endless loop strings.
To the factory, endless loop strings are faster and thus cheaper to make because they have automated string making machines.
To the custom bow makers flemish strings are easier and thus cheaper to make because they don’t require any fancy equipment to make.
To the user there are only a few differences, none that really affect performance:
– Flemish Strings are usually easier to twist up for brace height adjustments
– Flemish strings are easier to get silencers twisted into
– Flemish strings are prettier (to me)
Making your own flemish strings is a nice way to start down the path of do-it-yourself traditional archery. But be careful… when you start down this path, you may get hooked!
