How many strands of 8125 or X string material, and what serving diameter do you use on your string builds?

Did the post count reset or something? I know I've been on here a while and it's only showing I have one post prior to this one? I'm confused. I swear I've spent more time on here than that. Trying to sell a Jeffery Royal T/D and I can't even put it on the classifieds. :cussing:

I've always been able to shoot better than average. I've got a bunch of trophies and plaques and won many a side bet but...... I can't make the first one count. Once I warm up I'm pretty darn good but at 20 yards the first shot of the day is likely to miss the mark by a foot! The next shot...

Guys, I'm getting pummeled with emails about these risers, and I'm beginning to wonder just how many I should make in the first batch. I'm not asking for a commitment here just a good faith estimate so I can get an idea. Let's do a rolling tally. State how many of each riser you want...
