Long enough to have got them right

They are well made and don't come undone

That's handy to know Coach. The next time I want a string, I'll know where to go. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd learn how to make them for myself.

Back onto the topic,
Have purchased a couple for myself, very well made & am pleased to say as good as any and cheaper than most I've purchased via archery shops

Coach · #8 Post by **Coach** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 10:51 am

Hey Mick ,, send me what length you would like and I'll make you one for FREE

Mick Smith · #9 Post by **Mick Smith** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 6:29 pm

Gee Coach that's a very generous offer. I don't really need a string at the moment and I've even got a couple of spares for my Chekmates (I got Chad to make up a couple of extras with my orders).

I'm absolutely certain your strings would be "top notch". Your prices represent excellent value too, considering the price of the postage is included in the price.

I'll be sure to get in touch when I need some new strings.

Thanks again mate.

I can personally vouch for the quality of Coach's strings. Coach very kindly sent me a 48 inch black and white string for my 52 inch Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve. The string is perfect in every respect, and it is finished beautifully.

If you're in the market to buy a dacron flemish twist string, you won't do any better than buying one of Coach's.

Keep an eye out in your letter box Coach, there will be a little something turning up soon.

Can any bow use a dacron string Coach?

Coach · #14 Post by **Coach** » Sat Feb 17, 2007 11:45 am

Yes Clinglish

There are probably quite a few people that make there own but for the average archer who only has 1 or 2 bows and doesn't go through strings too often I don't think it's worth buying all the gear.I think it's great that we finally have someone on the site who is prepared to have a go and start selling strings.How many posts do you see on this site and others from people wanting to know where to buy strings in Australia...Good on ya Coach...

clinglish · #16 Post by **clinglish** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:57 am

I have just ordered a string from Coach , for my fox Recurve.
I will let you know how it gos .So far the service from Coach hads been excellant.

Coach · #17 Post by **Coach** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 4:18 pm

Just thought I would show a Pic of the loops ,, slightly different to the normal twist in other strings ,, they sort of look "braided" .

clinglish · #18 Post by **clinglish** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 5:40 pm

That looks great

adam · #19 Post by **adam** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 5:43 pm

Look pretty good to me Coach, I don't use dacron like a lot of other hunters, How about extending the business to fast flight aswell, I think it could open up a bigger clientel.

Coach · #20 Post by **Coach** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 5:55 pm

Thats your string Clinglish , now answer your PMs , I need your address

Adam , if more people put posts like yours up , I may go into FlastFlight etc , if the demand is there

Coach · #21 Post by **Coach** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 10:31 am

When ordering ,please state STRING LENGTH not bow length

matlock · #22 Post by **matlock** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 6:25 pm

G'day Coach they look great,is that some sort of a splice you use?

Coach · #23 Post by **Coach** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 5:49 am

I suppose you could call it a splice , but it is not much different to a regular Flemish Twist string , just the colours have been alternated .

clinglish · #24 Post by **clinglish** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 3:42 pm

Recieved my string from Coach , It is well made and I am confident that it will last quite a while.

Glad you got it Clinglish ,, Aussie Post has been a bit unreliable lately

I'm glad you are happy with it

And to others out there contemplating getting a string off me , if there is ever a problem , I will stand by what I make and sell . All you need to do is contact me with any issues

Also , if you have a special string you need ,let me know ,, I even had a request for a 7 foot string the other day

Coach · #26 Post by **Coach** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 5:52 pm

OK, looking for input,, what colours do you guys want in a flemish string , and also what material ?

Mick Smith · #27 Post by **Mick Smith** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 6:11 pm

Coach

I don't know if my thoughts are representitive of most traditional archers, but personally, I don't care all that much about colours. I reckon if you offered just a couple of choices like yellow/brown and black/red, most of us would be happy with that.

If you could afford it, I think you would be best to offer strings made from all commonly used materials, including dacron and a couple of the modern low stretch "fast flight" types of materials. Maybe you could offer (as an option) some extra strands to make the loops a bit thicker when using fast flight (or similar material) strings as well.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

Mick

Coach · #28 Post by **Coach** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 6:24 pm

Thats why I am asking , thinking about expanding , and I need to know what people want in order to do so

#29 Post by **Stickbow Hunter** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 7:39 pm

I think black and white is popular and goes with most wood combinations. I personally think Dyna Flight 97 would be one of the best materials to offer for Trad bows.

I've got the brace height right and some cats whiskers on The string from Coach and it is great ,Quiet as and good thickness around the loops.
