Bowstring Serving Material
for Making Your Own Bow Strings

BCY Halo Bow-String Serving Material

BBCY Halo Bow-String Serving Material is braided from solid Spectra, one of the strongest and most durable fibres known to man and is being used in everything from militery body armor to kite strings and of course it is the primary component in most high-tech string materials. It also makes wonderful string servings as anyone who has tried Halo can tell you. Halo is a particular favourite of finger shooters and FITA competitors.

NZAP have Halo in three sizes and only in black. The .014 size is just the thing for serving compound strings where the string wraps around the wheels and cams. The .019 size is by for the most popular for centre servings, and the .024 works well when you neet ot bulk up a string to fit your nocks.

Brownell #4 Nylon End-Loop Serving Material

Brownell Number 4 Nylon serving Material is usually used for serving the end loops of bowstrings and the roll-over portion of compound-bow cables. It also works fine for centre servings but tends to wear quickly. We have black, red, yellow, blue, white, and green in stock.

Price is for a one-ounce jig spool.

Diamondback Centre Serving Material

Diamondback serving material is the best, most durable serving material available and the one NZAP uses on all our custom strings (unless instructed otherwise, of course)

Diamondback Centre Serving Material has a unique braided construction that provides superior grip and durability. It lies flat and will not unravel. Available in three diameters, .018, .022, and .026 so you can get just the precise nock fit you want.

Price is for a one-ounce spool. Please specify your choice of size using the drop down menu.

Crossbow Center Serving Material

Strings used on both recurve and compound crossbows are subject to many times more wear and abrasion than string on regular traditional and compound bows and, therefore, need larger and stronger serving material.

This serving by Brownell has been developed specifically for the center servings of modern crossbows and will outlast any other material on the market. It is .035 inches in diameter and made from abrasion-resistant polyethylene fibers. Be warned, however, that regular renewal of the centre serving is a part of crossbow shooting, and even with this advanced material, your servings won't last as long as they do on a standard bow. Available in various colours.
