HOW TO REPAIR A BROKEN STRING SERVING IN AN EMERGENCY

If your string serving comes undone, you are done! John Dudley will teach you how to repair a broken serving in an emergency to get you back on your hunt or out on the course. Whether on hunts, or at target archery events such as Total Archery Challenges, one of the most common failures on bows is the unraveling of a center serving. This can be a devastating way to end your dream hunt or archery event that you’ve planned and paid a lot of money for. Don’t let this happen to you!

Dudley, life saver, “server saver” thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate you help.

John, thank you for showing how to make a quick splice of serving on cable in a west spot. It happens on string and cable stop contact. So works for sure. Thanks so much!!

[@bradmcclure9403]

Great work on the video! Thanks for taking the time and explaining proper serving technique, was a great refresher for those of us that don't do this often. I successfully patched up my crossbow string center serving outer layer that had broken so it will be a reliable back up once my new factory bowstring arrives and we get it installed.

Good one John, thank you!

My serving on my cable broke and looks like it could quickly unravel. The area doesn’t touch cam when drawn or let down but it is close to the loop on the end (maybe 1 inch away). Do I need to get that re-served before shooting, or is there some other kind of fix?

Good job

[@joycedimaggio3816]

I have a cut string on my main line. Should I replace? I was told it's OK ? It's about 3/4" long.

[@moose9689]

When in doubt, play it safe. A new string now is better than a new string and possibly more damage later.

[@robertmiller6822]

Yeah I would replace the string is all one piece so one strand can be dangerous.

[@mikeguy9668]

If it's the actual string then definitely replace it man.

[@weldermike7017]

Good deal

[@maxstambaugh]

You said, repair in the field, then first step you need a bow press?

[@moose9689]

They sell pocket presses you can keep in your truck.

[@maxstambaugh]

@@moose9689 no way! I didn't know that, I'll definitely look into them. Thanks for taking a minute to inform me

[@mikeguy9668]

Seems like you don't really need a press, just a way to hold the bow still and in position

[@maxstambaugh]

@@mikeguy9668 when I wrote that I didn't know about pocket presses.

[@mikeguy9668]

@@maxstambaugh oh I get it man. I'm just saying that a press isn't necessary. I literally just got done doing it on my center serving 15 minutes ago with no press. I have a bicycle clamp that I clamp on my stabilizer that I used. Just need something to hold the bow

[@harrisonharding]

So would this repair not last, I guess why is it just an emergency fix and not just a fix.
