False string and Band

The band or false string is a very useful accessory to safely mount the bow string. When bandaging the bow, it prevents you from twisting the branches. There are several types of false string. Discover from your online archery, the best accessories for bows to make a quality choice.

The different types of false string or band

Installing a bowstring without a false string involves a considerable risk of veiling its branches. It is therefore essential to choose a false string or a band that will facilitate the installation of the real string. To help you, there are different models of false strings and bands depending on the type of your bow: classical, recurve, or compound.

Generally, they are divided into two categories:

  • The models that are positioned on each doll
  • The models that are installed on one side on the lower headstock and on the other side on the bow limb.

How to bend your bow?

Banding your bow simply means to install the string on your bow. The false string or the band will allow you to put the real string on your bow without difficulty. While most training grounds offer banders, it is still better to learn how to band or unband your bow on your own to avoid unpleasant surprises, especially during competitions.

There are two easy ways to band your bow:

The false string

If you are using a false string, you must start by threading the loops at both the upper and lower ends. You will then wedge the false string under one foot and hold your bow handle firmly before shooting to create tension. You then put the real string in place before gently releasing the false string. If the loops are well in place on each doll, you have succeeded in the operation. If not, you must repeat the same gestures.

The band

The band is simpler and more convenient to use. The first step is to properly position the lower branch of your bow on the lower bumper of the band. Then, you install your bow and place your string on the loop of the upper headstock of the branch. Hold your bow well and pull with your weight to prevent it from twisting. Finally, slide your string to the lower limb until it is securely in place in each of the loops. You will then release your bow little by little. If everything is in place, you can remove it from the band.

How to choose your band or false string?

To choose the right band or the best false string for your bow, make sure to :

  • Find the type of binding that makes you feel most comfortable (doll's or non-slip). The non-slip model will allow you to quickly retouch your band without unbinding your bow.
  • Choose a model that adjusts to the type of your bow (target or recurve bows).
  • Choose a quality material (leather, quality cord, etc.).
  • Opt for a non-slip model so you can use it on any floor and with any shoes.
