Shooting String tools What and how many strings you want is up to you. I like the nylon up top with two straight hockey laces and a hockey lace “V” string below.
Nylon across the top Use the 9 diamond row under the locked in top string. Loop the string front to back and back to front across the row. Loop around the sidewall string, but not around the plastic of the head.
Looping back around Loop the shooting string around the sidewall – not the plastic. Go put it back through the same hole under the shooting string. Put it through the next hole in the mesh, over the string this time. Continue this alternating pattern.
Finishing the Nylon Make sure the shooting string hits every hole across 1 single row of mesh. Tie the string ends to each other tightly. Again, not around the plastic at all.
Another way to do it You can weave the shooting string across a row hole by hole. Start by looping the string outside the mesh around the sidewall string. Put one end front to back and the other back to front through the same hole.
Weaving … Continue this pattern hole by hole across the row. The string that goes back to front is always on top, and the string front to back is always on bottom (or vice versa).
Finishing off the shooters The “V” String is done just like the other shooters – keep it symmetrical. Knot the laces so they will stay their length Do not over-tighten the knots. Clean up the ends by cutting a burning.
