I shoulda spent more time around Gary at the Classic - too much agoin on. Now I gotta ask - how do you pull them into reflex on those blocks and what is that you have them tied with?

I clamp them down and then tie them down with whatever i have on hand. Linen works best because it really wont stretch.

Thanks SJM. After the sinew dries, then the linen stays under the sinew? or do you not sinew over your tie down? OK - last question I swear ;D.

Cowboy, It just stays under the sinew. After the bow is cured you just snip the line and it will come off the jig. Then just trim the line close and leave it underneath.
