Stringing ManualPart 4: Shooting Strings

One way to string a stickBy Devin Clifford

Shooting String tools

• What and how many strings you want is up to you.

• I like the nylon up top with two straight hockey laces and a hockey lace “V” string below.

Nylon across the top

• Use the 9 diamond row under the locked in top string.

• Loop the string front to back and back to front across the row.

• Loop around the sidewall string, but not around the plastic of the head.

Beginning looks like this

Looping back around

• Loop the shooting string around the sidewall – not the plastic.

• Go put it back through the same hole under the shooting string.

• Put it through the next hole in the mesh, over the string this time.

• Continue this alternating pattern.

Finishing the Nylon

• Make sure the shooting string hits every hole across 1 single row of mesh.

• Tie the string ends to each other tightly.

• Again, not around the plastic at all.

Another way to do it

• You can weave the shooting string across a row hole by hole.

• Start by looping the string outside the mesh around the sidewall string.

• Put one end front to back and the other back to front through the same hole.

Weaving …

• Continue this pattern hole by hole across the row.

• The string that goes back to front is always on top, and the string front to back is always on bottom (or vice versa).

Finishing off the shooters

• The “V” String is done just like the other shooters – keep it symmetrical.

• Knot the laces so they will stay their lengtho Do not over-tighten the

knots.• Clean up the ends by

cutting a burning.
