Sinew Bow String

Genuine Deer Sinew Bow Strings.  Due to increased popular requests, we are now offering genuine sinew strings to our website for customers. These strings are typically 1/8″ minimum – 3/16″ thick max. These are hand made to fit the approximate length of your bow.  The top limb end has a loop twisted into the string. The bottom limb end runs long so you can tie a bowline knot at your desired length.  These strings have a 30 day warranty, however, if you take care of them they should last for many years of hard use.  These strings do take quite a bit of material, experience, and time to build so they are considerably more expensive than a modern bowstring. That is why I have always encouraged folks to make their own sinew strings using the video linked at the bottom of the page. Since I know everyone doesn’t want to make their own sinew string but still really want to experience a true primitive hunting string, we have you covered! (Note: Bows with genuine sinew strings require our larger cut, selfnocked arrows. They will not work with modern plastic nocks.) For Hunting in Wet conditions, we recommend coating the string with our primitive bow-finish. That mixture of animal grease and pitch can be found at this link. click here
