String Loops

Bowstring loops are the two loops at the ends of a bowstring. They are used to attach the string to the bowtips.

Functions:

  • Connect the string to the limbs
  • Ensure safe force transfer
  • Fix the string length

Depending on the string construction, the loops are made by:

  • Flemish twist (braided loops)
  • End serving on endless strings

Important:
The size of the loops must match the bowtips—they should not be too loose or too tight.
