Well about a year ago I got some extra money for Christamas and decided I needed a new bow string for my old Reflex. I guess I was still out of it from too much eggnog because I decided not to buy a new string but to build my own! I sat around and drew up some plans for a string jig, good lord have you ever priced a string jig, and took them to my local metal shop. They welded up my plans and picked it up a few days later. Fast forward to last month. My jig is still sitting in the corner of the room and my bow still needs a new string. It's about that time of year again so I finally order some 425x string material and get to work. First my jig design isn't perfect. I didn't do to bad since I had never seen a string jig in person before but I discovered that lower posts were too thick and the pins on top should not be in the center if I use such large lower posts. Quick trip to Lowe's and I got it worked out. Took my 2 tries to get a shootable set of stirings but I did get it done! Have about 300 or so shots on this string and zero peep rotation so far.
