Ballista Bits - String
    
    The Ballista String is a standard Target Archery bowstring, just extra beefy. It is a 40 Loop (80 strand) B-50, double served ends, triple served center bowstring with the first layer of serving being red so it stands out if you wear down to it, made per the original Docmo plans. To order contact Lady Juliana Strangewayes. Prices do not include shipping.
    
Ballista Strings
  • $40 - first string
  • $25 - each additional string in the same order
These prices *INCLUDE* shipping.

    
    
NOTE: These strings are designed for the standard Docomo Ballista. If the un-strung Prod measures 57" to 58" from string shoulder to string shoulder (where the string should actually sit, NOT from end to end), then this string will work. If the string is a bit long twist it, 10 twists equals one inch shorter. DO NOT put a knot in your bow string!
    
HINT: For stringing purposes it is very helpful to cut a second shoulder at both ends of the Prod. The original one at the center is for the real string, the secondary/wider one is used for the dummy string while stringing the prod.
