WolfPupTee,   If you are needing material I would be willing to provided you some (B50), serving string.  I am located in Virginia Beach which isn't that far from you.

I heard some people attach the string to weights and let the weight stretch the string overnight in order to kind of get rid of the unnecessary elasticity... in b50 I mean.

I always just remake the string like 3 times and pull it on the tree to stretch the string, but that sounds like a good idea.

Did you get your string I sent Tiara? If not, it will be there today. I stretched the daylights out of it, It will move very little for the first several hundred shots. There is a nock in the bag also, crimp it on where you see fit.

No one has gone to the post office yet! But maybe I can convince someone to go.  ::) I hope it is there because I'm about ready to string this thing and see if it works. Thanks for stretching it!
