Title: Asiatic bow strings
Post by: Si on September 05, 2017, 08:43:00 PM
I have an Alibow Asiatic bow with no string. I have made 100's of strings but not one for this type of bow. I can buy one but would like to know the specs for loop size so I can make one. Help.

Check out ATARN It's a site for Asiatic Horn/Horse Bows.

You should be able to look at the siyah and see how big the loops need to be.
You could always use cord and tie a bowline in one end to make a mock up string to see how the loop works.

Allen at Tenring strings has made me several custom Flemish strings for Asiatic siyah type bows and they all worked flawlessly.  You just need to provide the loop measurements.
