Title: Bow Stringer pattern or template?
Post by: Lee Slikkers on May 08, 2011, 11:04:59 am

Hey guys, I tried doing a search on here for a DIY type of Bow Stringer but came up empty.  Does anyone have a pattern, template or some good close up pics they wouldn't mind sharing so I could have a go at making my own today?  Thanks for any assistance!

Cut (2) 2 1/2" sided triangles, fold it in half and sew one end up. That will make your cups. Pop some grommets in each cup and you have as stringer!

If you want I can do a build along on the woven end it's super easy to make

Thanks for the help guys.

PD, I tried a simple "off the cuff" build but it kept sliding on me and wasn't working real well which is why I thought maybe I was missing something.

Rich, I'll drop you a PM.

Skyarrow, I'll never turn down a Build-along and if the same tutorial works for a sling pouch you'll be a hero to my two boys as well  ;D
