Question for the string makers

[GLB]

What serving size should I use for a Flemished twist 14 strand D97 to fit the Bohing Classic nock 5/16. The 5/16 clasic nock measures .115-.118 in the throat. I need to reserve my string for a better fit and need to order some larger size serving for proper fit. Thanks.

I got .025 and .021. I haven't used d97 but I served my 8125 string with the 025 and a dacron string with the .021.

I did a mockup with some.021 serving which is close but still loose. I’ll order some .025 and try that.

 

[dan33]

The difference is big in those. I believe bcy makes 022 or 023 as well

I don’t make my own strings but the strings I buy have .021 and have a perfect fit for the Bohning classic nocks on wood arrows.

Self nocks! I know.... not the least bit helpful...

I don’t know what size serving is on my jig. The label wore off.

doing a mock up is a good strategy. I back my 12 strand strings servings with four strands of material parallel then the serving fits my noks

I use the 14 strands if D97 with .026, they fit perfect on my nocks. Can’t even tell you what make the nocks are, they are the same ones I have used for a few decades.

You can also lay strands under your serving if you're just barely under.
