Make a Flemish Twist Bow String - NO JIG

In this week’s video Clay Hayes shows how To make a Flemish twist bow string for a longbow or recurve bow without using a string jig. Flemish twist strings are the most common, and possibly the best bow string in the traditional archery world. They’re easy to make and relatively inexpensive. This string will be made with 14 strands of fastflight plus bowstring material. This, in combination with a .030 halo serving, will fit a Bohnning Classic nock very well. If you’re using a different nock, you may need to adjust the number of strands and or the size of the serving you’re using to get a proper nock fit. The folks at can help get you set up with the right combination of materials. Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel.
