Longbow String

This purchase is for 1 hand made Flemish twist Dacron B50 longbow string. We custom makes strings for all of our own bows, as well as for customers wanting replacement string for their longbows, recurves and flatbows. These strings are finished with two Flemish loops, which aesthetically is a very clean finish, as well as being much easier to adjust the brace height if necessary. The alternative is a string with a bowyers knot at the bottom, which is preferred with traditional archers but more difficult to set right, especially for archers with little or no experience. These strings are made with Dacron B50 made by Brownell and Brownell. This material is ideal for longbows because it is a softer material and has more flex than other string material such as fast flight. Most bowyers will recommend Dacron for use on longbows, with the exception of high performance bows which may be better with Fast Flight material. We use black and white, and 'candy' twist them. We make them with a total of 14 strands of Dacron, which is suitable for longbows up to 80lbs draw weight. The reason that we make them 14 strand is simply that its a good all round string, but the diameter of the string is perfect for classic nocks, without the need to build up your string, which again is therefore easier to use for archers with little experience. Every string is also served at the middle to protect the string from wear. We pre-stretch the strings by stringing a bow with them while we serve the centre for you. We then double check the length before it is shipped to you. When you first string the bow, some stretch is normal, and can be easily sorted out by adding additional twists into the string. To do this, de-brace the bow, and slide the string down the top limb a little further than normal. Switch hands and remove the bottom loop (but keep hold of it). Because the top loop is still on the top limb it is easy enough to add twists. If you still feel unsure because you are not sure if you are adding or taking off, lie the bow down on the ground, and with your free hand nip the string about 12" from the bottom loop. As you are twisting the string it is much easier to see the effect of what you are doing. IMPORTANT! The measurement you need for one of these strings is the length of the bow, nock groove to nock groove, running the tape measure down the back of the bow. It is not the actual string length. If you are unsure and would prefer to supply your actual string length, please get in touch before purchase so that we can be sure that the right string is sent to you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, we are happy to help. If you are an archer, check out our other items!

  Longbow - Snakewood & Bamboo

This beautiful longbow is around 3 years old, and has been shot by me at indoor tournaments,and has won me many medals. The bamboo started to lift on the bottom limb, as did the snakewood insert.. I sent the bow to a Master Bowyer (Adrian Hayes) and it has now been completely refurbished The draw weight of the bow is around 35lb at 27" and has been re-tillered to a max of 27" it has had a new insert of snakewood fitted to the bottom limb, and the back has had a full piece of bamboo fitted.It is "long from knock to knock. I have tried to show the full bow in the photos. please ask question if you are interested in the bow. I have put the starting price at £ as the repairs cost quite a lot. a bow of this type would possibly cost over £ as a new item.bow comes with a cloth bow bag. Bow can be viewed prior to purchase, please contact me to arrange. I am in the Rotherham area. PLEASE ASK FOR THE POSTAGE COST TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE UK MAINLAND BEFORE BIDDING. Snakewood & Bamboo
