Switchback string material
Hi this is my first post here so hello to everyone. Just picked up a used Switchback and want to make my own string/cable. I have 452X material but how many strands should I use for the cable and String? Any suggestions for end serving/ centre serving material.

Thanks
Ali

Hi & welcome to the forum.

Can't help with your question I'm afraid, as I'm more a recurver than a compounder.

Kae.

Hello Alastair, surely you don`t want to change that string already, it`s almost new.

Thought I would try making one of these really long strings as my Bowtech has quite short ones, just to see if I can do it. I wan't to try out the 452X material
