If they are like 1/4 wide and 5 inches long, you open up a slot between your string and slip one end in about a 1/4 inch then wrap them right down the string, keeping the fur pulled back and aligning the hide tight up against the wraps and when ya have about 1/2 inch left ya open up another slot in the string and slip the tag end through.

Thanks Roy. This BBO is peppy. I've got about 35 arrows thru her and she is real nice so far. 48@26 and 50@27. I really like Osage versus Hickory. Osage just seems like it wants to be a bow. Lol.  Im trying to decide if I'm gonna give it away to a buddy or keep it. He likes 50@28.

If you part the hair at the place the string bites the balls, they will not move.   :eek:
