Martin Pearson
Yours Truly, Of course I make my own bowstrings and I have had great success.
I generally only tune my bow twice a year. Once before the 3D season starts and then when Indoor season kicks off.
My hands on experience with high level archery means I know what to expect from a bowstring.
I have proven multiple times that I am a consistent competitor.
My results are down to great equipment, practice and an awesome set of strings.
