There Has To Be A Better Way

[Archertl]

There as to be a better way to serve the area were the string contacts the string stop. I there is only 2 inchs of clearance between the string and the cables so may string serving jig doesnt have enough clearance to make wraps. I'm hand serving the string which isn't something I'm really good at. So after a 100 or so shots the area needs reserved. I've seen a few bowtechs in the pass take a piece of cloth and tie the bus and control cables to the riser so there out of the way. I would think that doing that would mess up the timing and tuning of your bow.

There has to be an easier way to do this.

I have no idea about putting serving on a bow string, but maybe a fly tying bobbin would work. You can get tight wraps in a small area. Just a thought. You'd have to wrap your serving material on to a spool and then wrap away. The tool puts quite a lot of tension on the spool. I don't know...

Are you able to temporarily remove the string stop to give you enough room to serve it with the serving bobbin?

heat shrink wrap

Do you have a press? You could just take the string off of the bow and then serve it.

Milo, do you just slip it on over the end loop of the cable or string and slide it up to where it needs to be? That heat shrink is a good idea.

I dont have a press yet and the string stop isn't the problem its getting the serving bobbin to clear the cables.

I imagine you would...not sure because i just thought of it. i mean they use it to cover up speed nocks so why wouldn't it work on a serving.

I was kind of thining the same thing. Why not leave the current serving on and heat shrink around it.
