Bowstring Loop Material
I am looking for the material for bowstring loops, and drop away arrow rest string/cord in bulk. Just looking for any leads for this stuff.
The only place I'm onto so far is Brownell, but looks like their smallest diameter stuff is still a little large for the Drop Zone rests that I have which use a 5-7 inch length of this stuff.

Thanks--Don

Fallaway cords and string loops require two different cords.

The Brownells camo is absolutely the best for string loops.

I'd look to BCY for the rest cord:

see "release rope" on the archery accessories page.

Don, if you check with a local proshop, you should be able to find some... and it shouldn't be too expensive buying it a roll at a time.

Thanks guys, Don--I was actually looking for the BCY homepage earlier this morning.

AR, all the proshops were closed last night, and of course practicing with my lead rig and the fallaway cord busted. I guess all the local guys were going to the woods too.

I improvised with a shoestring for dress shoes!
It's working so far, but I want to have some of both of this material on hand for the future.

Thanks again guys.

fish you can substitute the pull cord used on vericle blinds. I've used it for years with success.

ahhh another quick fix.. (when nothing else is available) for the pull string on the arrow rest, would be dental floss, i had a guy at a proshop tell me that in a pinch if i couldn't get my bow in to get it reserved.. i could use dental floss to make due for a day or so if needed..
