I have a vintage recurve and it has an endless loop on it which I want to replace. Will there be a significant performance drop by switching to Flemish twist if I use Dacron B-50 for both?

There was a question awhile back about how I did end servings when I build endless loop strings. In this post I will show how I do it for extreme recurves using a Spigarelli jig. The Spigarelli jig is relatively inexpensive, at least compared to the higher cost BCY Yellowstone and Apple Jigs. I...

How long do you make your end loop servings on endless loop longbow strings? I would think that they would be shorter than recurve strings. I am not including the end loop in the measurement.

I had someone ask me some questions about endless string jigs-what do they look like, can I make my own? Here are a few pics I took of the one that I made at home. Don

For those of you who make endless strings, how much longer do you make the string, to allow for twisting than you want the finished string length? For example if you want a 60" string, do you make the string 60 1/2" then twist X number of times to get 60"?

Many prefer endless strings over flemish. What are the advantages of an endless string? Have you noticed that the Endless strings are more noisy than a flemish?
