After building thousands of strings I know there is variation in the material. But how much and what do archers need to know?

Can archers really tell the difference between string materials? That's what Diane Cochran set out to determine when she contacted me proposing this testing late in 2024.

The best way to determine where yours should be is by taking a photo of yourself at anchor at both your highest and lowest crawl positions. Let's keep it legal!

Most archers select their string colors based on the color of their bow. And there's nothing wrong with that. But there are a few things to consider when choosing your next string color.

I've gotten a few requests to make strings to a particular weight. I'd love to accommodate such a request, but that's easier said than done.

8125, 652, 97, 99, 450, 8190, 777 ... bingo??? It sounds like the number edition of alphabet soup. What does all this mean and how do I choose the best string material for my needs?
