Bow Stringer pattern or template?
« 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!

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
