redkneck Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Who makes custom strings? I got a beautiful custom longbow i won years ago and lost the string. The guy i used to know that made them now has health problems. I have no idea where to even start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 There is a guy on Archerytalk that makes some awesome strings I will see if I can find his name for ya. Normally it's not hard to find someone to build a flemish string. From my understanding they are the easiest and cheapest to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimPic Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 What length is your bow,what's the poundage,and is it fast-flight capable or dacron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 What length is your bow,what's the poundage,and is it fast-flight capable or dacron? Fast flight and dacron?.....that just went over my head. As for lenght, i'll have to measure it, but i'd estimate about 6'. The weight is 58# at 28". Like i mentioned the bow is hand made, very beautiful, i tried to find something on the guy that made it but couldnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast flite and dacron are string materials.You shouldn't use FF if your bow isn't rated for it..it can damage it.The length should be written on the bow..it's usually by the poundage.It's important to know the length so you can get the proper sized string made for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 OK, here's what i got: 68" Scorpion 58# at 28" N1071 by M.R. Hamilton I aint got a clue where to start. I won it as a grand prize at the Miss bowhunter's jamboree years ago. I didnt hunt with it but one season, a few years later, and somehow i lost the string. I contacted Ms bowhunters assn, and they dont remember anything about it, probably was about 14 years ago. Thanks for the help. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 OK, just kinda alongside this conversation i did a google search on mr hamilton and found some posts on bowsite.com. i of course had to register (is there a forum on the net to support ppl that are in too many forums?)....anywho...i sent a PM to a guy that i think owns one, and maybe he can shed some light on this situation as well. Apparently Mr. hamilton made at least a few of these. I won't put down my compound, but it's a shame that i never even killed a doe in all these years with such a beautiful bow.

JimPic Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 You'll need a 65" string.I could make you one but I might not be able to put serving on it.My longest longbow is only 66".I could try to serve it on the 66" bow,though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
