end serving!

I think and maybe wrong, but end serving is done on a jig when building the strings. so to do it you would have to just about take a part the strings

 

just take it off the bow and re-serve it..



just some eye bolts into a beam in the garage and a ratchet strap to put tension on it will work,thats all I've ever done

 

all servings are done the same,(at least I do anyway) just a different diameter serving thread is used

.014" Halo or .018" 62XS is what I use for redoing the end servings on my cables when they need it,and usually .026 XS for center servings but that depends on the nock fit

I just hook the end loop to an eye bolt ,the Y's to a ratchet strap and the ratchet strap to another eye bolt;put some tension on it and remove the end serving until I get to the loop,then tie a knot at the end with the serving I'm removing just to keep the loop the same and reserve it up as far as needed.
Never did the actual end loops if thats what your talking about though,never had the need to

I'm in the process of building something different now to use out of square steel;looks like the stuff that sign post :noidea: are on with all the holes;should be able to adjust that to any size needed and use a turnbuckle instead of a ratchet strap for tension on the cable/string

 

When you serving experts lock down the first 7 or 8 wraps when you are tying in leeches or something else into the string, what method do you use? I was taught how to do it but, I can't remember how to get the first 7 or 8 wraps to tighten up when you pull the line, I just pull the line right out from under the other wraps and the whole thing comes unravelled????

 

make a loop just like you would for the end of a center serving......
