Bowstring

A bow string joins the two ends of the bow stave and launches the arrow. Desirable properties include light weight, strength, resistance to abrasion, and resistance to water. Mass has most effect at the center of the string; 1 gram (0.035 oz) of extra mass in the middle of the string slows the arrow about as much as 3.5 grams (0.12 oz) at the ends.

String forms

Most bow strings may be described as either simple, reverse-twisted, or looped.

Simple strings may be made of any fiber, twisted into a single cord. Such strings have been used in many parts of the world and are still effective and fairly quick to make. However, they tend to be weaker for their weight, and they may also come apart if not kept constantly under tension. They are normally secured to the bow by a knot/round turn and two half-hitches at each end.

Reverse-twisted strings are traditional in Europe and North America for most natural materials. Linen and hemp fiber have been widely used. The form is also used for modern materials. A reverse-twisted string is made of separate bundles, each bundle individually twisted in one direction; the entire group of bundles is then twisted in the other direction. The result tends to be stronger for its weight than a simple or looped string, and holds together better than a simple string. Unlike some looped strings, the full thickness of the string passes around the nocks on the ends of the bow, where wear is usually greatest. Additional threads may also be laid in at the nocking points for the bow stave and for the arrow, which are sites of likely wear. The string may be secured to the bow by a knot at each end, usually a timber hitch, also known as the bowyer's knot.

Yeah, you got to get going, no time to be sittin' down
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You gotta know how to get around, whoo ha
Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long
Hi, how ya doin'? Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you're behaving yourself now like a good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy, you gotta work what I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best 'cause I believe in you
Not like the stereotypes cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life and for us being here
Children can't go to school the system killing us
There's good in us and we always wanna be bringin' out
(It)
Show the world what we got the struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions in which we're living, yow
Ain't no one come giving, yow, got to work to be a winner
Our children going to bed without having their dinner
Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long
People all filled with expectations that's fine with me
Opportunity comes but once so it's time for me
I don't think of failure because the sun shines for me
Something in the back of my head keeps reminding me
Give a listening, yuh hear? When I call
There's good and bad so just be good and stand tall
A lot of people out there wish for me to fall
I'm not scared, I pray to He who have created us all
Evils and the demons, whoo, I don't stuck with them
Hey they don't like me, hey, what's up with them?
I just can't do without Jah love because it's like the oxygen
I'm no in no folly, I don't inna no crap with them
Yes you got to be strong and be all the best you can
The world is out there conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long and don't you wait too long
Hi, how ya doin'? Long time I haven't seen you
Hope you're behaving yourself now like a good behaving citizen
Nothing comes easy, you gotta work what I'm telling you
Hope and pray for the best 'cause I believe in you
Not like the stereotypes cleanliness intriguing you
Give thanks and praise for my life and for us being here
Children can't go to school the system killing us
There's good in us and we always wanna be bringin' out

Show the world what we got the struggle continues, yow
Check the conditions in which we're living, yow
Ain't no one come giving, yow, got to work to be a winner
