Thank you Sandra for teaching me how to make a Flemish twist bow string. Your instruction was clear and easy to follow. I no long have to travel a long distance to find one. We really enjoy all the Bear Paw 3D course videos with you in them. It gives my wife confidence to go shoot.

[@davesherrell447]

Hello again from the UK. Last night I managed to make 3 Flemish twist bow strings With the bearpaw flemish jig i got from MerlinArchery. I couldn't of Done it Without your help. Even with my bad hand? I am so proud Of the way They turned out. just got to Serve them now. Thanks again For your tutorial.

[@Geezuznotcomingforu]

Have made Flemish strings for a long time with hit and miss results. Watched this, got my homemade board out and made up the nicest, tightest, most round string I’ve ever made. The 20-30 counter twist between loops was the key! Thank you.

[@davidwsmith316]

How did you make your homemade board? 😮

[@jgianelli]

Used this video for my first string and after a failed attempts where I skimmed the video and attempted this (and failed miserably) I watched the whole thing carefully and followed along: it worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing.

[@schiz0174]

What strings?

[@bBlaF]

This tutorial was such a treasure to find, und noch besser als ich die deutschen Version gefunden habe. Great way to practice the language.

[@davesherrell447]

Hello from the UK. I have watched your Demonstration Over and over. I love the Skill and Professionalism you put into makeing your Flemish bow string's. i cant do it Because of Arthritis in one Hand.. I'd like to buy 2 Of yours for my 54in Recurve bows. You are a Truly Talented Young lady and Archer.

[@fishmut]

Even though this video was some time ago , making bow strings will continue into the future , this is really a lovely easy to follow tutorial, thanks you , 👍

[@Visionism]

By far, the clearest and best explained string making video on KZbin

[@sonofrooster1]

just got a jig exactly like this one, not a Bear Paw, but exactly the same. Thank you Ma'am for the precise instructions, my first string came out spot on at 52". I've tried other styles of String boards, but this is by far the easiest and the best I've used. Thanks again!!

[@happytrails5400]

I've also made a number of flemish bowstrings, the way you do it is exactly how I have done it but you do a nicer job. Thank you for setting me straight. Good video, nicely done.

[@lbhunter6341]

Great instructional video! I have been making strings for thirty years and I learned something here! Well done, young lady!

[@WV591]

best Flemish twist string tutorial bar none.

[@ilayalifajardo2995]

great tutorial,hi from south Florida,USA.

[@cliffbrown4217]

Your video helped me more than any other, thanks to you I can now make great strings, thank you VERY much.

[@jeffsmeltzer6888]

Great explanation. Made a great first string. Thank you for your help!

[@afrodzack8065]

[@dominicdantone8198]

very nice video.....most informative and we'll demonstrated

[@Traveler2112]

This was a great tutorial. Thank you.

[@tomvawter4531]

Excellent and detailed instructions! 👍

[@ArcheryAdventures]

I've been waiting for this video for ages! Thank you guys!

[@binaryvip]

She sure is cuter than Chris Billingsgate.

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Can't argue with that lol

[@binaryvip]

Still. Chris made a gem series on making your own strings. I love bearpaw but 60 pounds for a piece of wood .. Gimme a break Unless they send Sandra to teach me and give me a rubdown after the session I ain't paying 60squid for a board. I love you Chris you saved me a bundle. Thank you mate. AX Xenios.

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Fair point... But I got mine free ;) but no English instructions which wouldn't normally be a problem but it's slightly different to any of the other string boards I've used... What do you use buddy?

[@binaryvip]

Grizz, I've never made a string. Only just started fletching my own arrows with a bear jig .. After watching Chris Billingsgates videos I am off to the hardware store to buy my board and nails. I ordered string and serving and a serving tool from 3Rivers .. Will practice with wool or string and see what comes of watching the videos. Would love a bear board however it's mad expensive .. Will try and keep ya posted.

[@iSTAYuGO]

Just love it :) Made so simple and i thought its rocket science.

[@sparkyswearsalot]

danke viel! Das war ausgezeichnet! Mein deutsch ist furchtbar, aber ich lerne!

[@nickhorton785]

Learned a lot. Thank You.

[@odairjssilva4406]

thank you ..1000% from Brasil ... muito obrigado

[@maisetas]

when i twist the string and when i release it the string untwists..., same with the loops,its good when its stationary when i apply tension on the string the loop twist separates

[@Burboss]

Don't twist the bundles before making second loop (she does that in video). This will help to get nice and round string after putting twists on the whole thing. Learned that in a hard way...

[@davidwsmith316]

What if you don't have one of those fancy boards? 🤔

[@bearpawproducts]

Then shop them right here: www.bearpaw-shop.com/en/products/strings/string-making/230/50068-bearpaw-string-board?number=50068 :)

[@rildn7]

Sandra is a Canes fan !

[@wswaslaw]

There are markings on the right side of your string jig where you measured the end of the bundle from the nail to the lower marking to represent the length needed to make the bottom loop and then the upper loop. What are the actual measurements in inches or centimeters needed to make the right size lower and upper loops? Thanks, great video!

[@reedcooper6545]

Thanks for an awesome explanation and great video!!

[@andreasspieckermann8985]

Super Video. Dank dafür👍

[@philochristos]

Wow! This is even better than the Sam Harper string tutorial. Sam isn't nearly that cute.

[@superfunsurf]

great work. super clear. works great! thank you

[@tamerbenrahel7567]

your toturial is beautiful and you are beautiful too, merci beaucoup

[@AusyG]

[@robertshaffer3679]

can some tell me how long the marks are for measuring the starting point of the loops the short and the long ????? on the bear paw board? how many inches?

[@SquirrelDarling1]

Excellent video!

[@dr.gayathriyada9411]

well done..simple tutorial.

[@savage_beast_sp4768]

I want to steal all dem arrows

[@Kmecha84]

All convicted thieves need to be locked up and that key thrown away. Why not work for your stuff? I just had a couple son's of bitches steal my trailer with two quads on it and it cost me thousands in damages and impound fee's not to mention the impact it has on my young children.

[@jackboyd147]

i have found bowstring material that does not work together they are the same string just different colours one is purple the other is yellow both are bcy55 it just won't meld together with the recommended wax

[@oznenzo5546]

brava

[@ozziejim8472]

Great tutorial. So what to do if you find after both loops are twisted in and one is longer?

[@marcocantini]

Very very good video. Thank you

[@ronaldskidmore5478]

Great video thank you so much for the info.

[@jayk2k]

Great video . Two questions 1, when making the second loop , do you to tie the end , like on the first one ? 2, do you need to remove the threads that you tied to the first loop ?

[@seanwilson471]

as per your video and the bearpaw string board instructions I have measured my string but string board seams to be 3 inches out! on the tape measure my string is most definitely 58 inches but the string board says 61 inches. do I just go by the string boards calibration to get the correct length?

[@YTMarnixR]

The two attempts of making a string both get tangled in the middle because they were twisted in reverse. Is there a way to overcome that?

[@massimoprampolini5348]

Where can I find that wooden board? Or can I have the measures to build myself?

[@bearpawproducts]

You can find it here: shop.bearpaw-products.com/WebshopB2C/P-578?SelectedPage=1

[@musicidol951]

what kind of loop is it coz there are many kinds of loops like dropper loop over hand loop so on so forth.

[@manfredh236]

i think i twist too hard. my 48" measurement yielded a 35" string. first try, im sure the 2nd or 3rd try could be a success :)

[@Traveler2112]

I have a question. When you take the string off the bow to measure it in the beginning. Does that tell you your bow length and not the string length. Because you measured it at 52 inches and that is the actual length of the Kiowa bow. A recurve string would be about 4 inches shorter than the bow I believe. Your translator says string length. Could you explain?

[@michaelaskin7044]

When they took it off at first and measured it, that was the bow length. But when making the string, it is made so that the string is longer than the bow length. So the 52 inches is the bow length.

[@michaelandersen5453]

Michael Askin I think you have that all backwards. string length is measured for the AMO of the bow not the length of the bow. recuves should be about 4" shorter than the AMO of the bow. The AMO of the bow is from string groove to string groove.

[@dingus01]

Good translation. Danke!

[@grahambeech1731]

What do you use if you haven't got a string board?

[@Aramvh]

Is this also the same method for the Whisper String? And when is the video of serving the string coming?

[@wadesaunders583]

How a tutorial should be!

[@KaptajnKaffe]

can you do this with intestines? and if yes, which is best?

[@flartusm8170]

Good Job!

[@Repor666]

you can make one for me and sell me... i can pay and the shippin... how much??? sorry by some mistake.. i not speak english...

[@natedogg1261]

[@avieron2785]

how long can be bow stringed ? i mean time when im not shooting -i m done shooting and wnna shoot later... how long can it be strung? om not englisch :D

[@highqualitycrap]

What string was used in this video? Dacron or fast flight?

[@rebelbiker9956]

can I use the same tecnique for a crossbow?

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

yea same question and wax would beeswax be ok and upolsteress thread be acceptable....we used to use as kids on home made bows

[@rebelbiker9956]

Miguel Castaneda I have problem with bow leght

[@markestabrook7094]

Beeswax works great for bowstrings, I might worry about that thread, if you are talking less than 50 lbs on the crossbow (more in "fun" territory than hunting) then it might be okay, but usually B50 dacron or other bow string specific material is used. The old English longbow makers used linen, but they REALLY knew what they were doing, and they had to.

[@lukeirmer5316]

She's cute, great informational video.

[@Joebunkyss1]

why not tie the 2 ...7 stranders together , hand a weight at the bottom and spin till tight then fold one end to the other while keeping apart .....then it folds over itself all down the string......twine.

[@bebo7002]

reminds me of the mazda 787b

[@kennywest9626]

what is the lighter for? you didnt use it

[@garagebandbrothers]

where do you sell your Flemish jig at?

[@ronpoddig6499]

Google Bearpaw products would be my guess.

[@luiscastro1362]

What kind of string is she using?

[@Necro666Mole]

German is such a sexy language

[@NickLifts]

one question please- eine frage bitte, what is the name of that board being used?

[@mac2k2020]

Myrtle Snow it's a flemish string jig

[@depqua7905]

DIY if you own a board.

[@2012isRonPaul]

Dep Qua why doesnt the board have a mark for the loop and the 15 cm? kinda weird witchcraft anyway....

[@turningcog]

Bet you can find printable templates for this on the google machine

[@Franzhen]

Hello, can you tell me what kind of thread, wire or string do you use? because English is not my native language and I need to translate it accurately in order to get the right one in a store. Thank you!

[@YTMarnixR]

Probaly b40,b50 or b55. You can use basicly anything, but it schould be 2,5 times stronger than your bow.

[@Franzhen]

thank you for your answer, but I am still a little confused.. those are measures, right? what I need to know is what kind of material the string is... it's like the same string people use for fishing??

[@YTMarnixR]

+Francisco Brandigamo no, sorry I ment darcon b50. If you search that you will find the materials.

[@Franzhen]

+Marnix Relyveld that's exactly what I needed, thank you man, unfortunately nobody sells it in my country.. but well I can be the first importer hahah thanks again

[@YTMarnixR]

+Francisco Brandigamo wich country are you in?

[@JustinDOehlke]

Thank you

[@rolyebe1066]

Very cleverly dun smart women

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Grosse danke!

[@AnthonyDayrrTV]

hey what do you call that wood board you are using or where can i buy it?

[@markestabrook7094]

www.3riversarchery.com/flemish-string-jig.html There is a link to where you can buy one, but honestly I would just get a board and some nails, the spacing between them really isn't critical from what I can tell.

[@JKay1973]

Easy to make your self.

[@timesthree5757]

look folks they are making it to complicated. Get a 2x4 at about 8-10 feet. Drive a nail in both ends. Run 18-20 strands around the nails. At one end seperate a loop. Then do an opposing twist for about 5-6" keep string from kinking. Next twist string and wax. Next measure to bow. Tie a timber hitch to bow notch. Then slip string loop on other notch. Make adjustments as needed. Keep it simple guys. This will go to 90lbs of draw weight. I call it the American simplified flemish twist.

[@henrybodnik2487]

TimesThree Thanks for your comment. Every time good to see different possibilities.

[@custardthepipecat6584]

that was great :)

[@ThomasShue]

cute girl, and nice string

[@mohawksniper79]

Very good

[@edwardtalerico9041]

When you finish the second bundle, do you need to tie it off like you did with the first bundle, before the final twisting? Thank you!

[@LORDVADER357]

In ancient times some people made the strings from human hairs.

I suck at tying knots, you couldn't even show how to tie the loop in the knot you just did?
