Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A method of winding archery bow strings wherein a single strand of bow string material is wound under tension to form a multi-strand loop with a diameter equal to the length of a standard string. Applying a first serving comprised of lapping a single string around a portion of the loop and pulling the string back underneath the laps to form a tight lap. Applying a second serving 180 degrees from the first serving and in the same manner as the first serving. Anchoring one end of the loop and rotating the other end under tension such that the multiple strands of the loop are tightly braided. Applying a third serving to overlap the ends of the looped first serving and extending for a predetermined length along the braided strands. Applying a forth servicing to overlap the ends of the looped second serving and extending for the same length as the third serving. Applying a fifth serving located centrally on the braided strands and extending a predetermined length on the strands. The string thus formed is dense with each strand evenly tensioned and is capable of significantly enhancing arrow speed.

forming a fifth serving substantially centrally located on the length of said interwined strands and extending along said intertwined strands for a predetermined length by inserting a fifth single string strand transversely through the intertwined strands, maintaining one end of said fifth string strand in longitudinal contact with said intertwined strands, lapping the other end of said fifth strand over and around said intertwined strands to form a fifth series of laps, pulling said other end of said fifth string strand back under and through said fifth laps, exposing said fifth string strand to the outside of said fifth laps at the approximate mid-point of the length of said fifth laps and cutting said other end of said fifth string strand whereby said fifth string strand is assimilated into said fifth laps; and relaxing tension.
