Been outta trad shooting for a few years. Looking for opinions on the best string makers out there. Preferably those who install cat whiskers and tied nocking points vs. brass.

Thanks and its good to be back in the trad world!!!

How would a string maker, regardless of how skilled they are, be able to set your string nock to the proper spot? Without seeing your bow, your rest, or watching your arrows fly?

We don't install whiskers or nocks(not sure how we could as mentioned above) but we offer recurve & longbow strings in several different materials with next day turnaround. We are also a board sponsor. If you have any questions just let us know.

SBD in PA. I order from Silent-But-Deadly. I include a nock with my payment so they know how thick to wrap the serving. The products were made exactly as requested.

Ten Ring Strings will install catwiskers and an adjustable tie on nocking point.

freshta: Just an observation, but if your unable to install cat wiskers or nock points, maybe this is not the sport for you!!! Bob

fdp...I will set the nocks when I tune the bow. Tied on string nocking points are usually adjustable by turning them up or down the serving until you get them where they need to be. I typically put a dab of super glue on them once the string is shot in.

Bob...I shot trad for 23 years...used to make both endless and flemish strings for several years myself...to include tying on my own nocking points and installing silencers. I also even my a few of my own bows. But being a business owner cuts into my fun time. I would prefer to shoot my bow rather than tinker with it. I buy my flies for fishing too rather than tie them myself although I did that for years also. Should I stop fly fishing as well?

Thanks everyone else for the help!!!!

Great reply freshta!!! I've never used him, but I know 10ringstrings will do all of what you asked for. I get mine from a guy in South Dakota. He doesn't install anything, but they are well made and a few bucks cheaper than anyone else. A good stringmaker is like a barber you've went to for years,,,hard to go anywhere else ;)

And I understood exactly what you were asking. Seems others are just being a little ornery.
