So.... I ordered some b55 to learn how to build Flemish twist strings. The first one that I built, was built while watching pausing and rewinding YouTube videos. It didn't end well. I'm not sure if I nicked it somehow but it snapped at the top loop. I built a smaller one for a 15lb kids bow and that bow has never been so quiet. So I tackled the 45lb longbow hybrid and used some of the tips from YouTube and some of my own ideas as to how it should be. I built it about an inch short and strung it up....cautiously. was still a little long to not be stretched yet. I twisted it to 8 and 1/2 inch brace height and let it set for the night. This morning it's 7 and 7/8 inch brace height. It definitely stretched. I'll serve it up today and shoot it to see if it stretches more. I have definitely fallen down the rabbits hole into this traditional archery!
