Flemish Splice

The Flemish splice is a traditional method of making bowstrings. In this design, the strands of the string are braided together at the ends to form the loops, instead of being wrapped as with an endless loop string.

Characteristics include:

  • Braided end loops
  • A classic, handcrafted appearance
  • Commonly used on traditional bows
  • Slightly more elastic than endless loop strings

This results in several advantages, for example:

  • The length can be adjusted easily by twisting the string
  • Quieter when shooting
  • A look that matches traditional bows well
