Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@DianesAutoRepair says : BALLISTA now offers Dyneema bow strings for all their compound crossbows.>> <<@mikefandango294 says : Quality once again, thank you.>> <<@CZOV says : How about using Dyneema and flemish twist string for crossbows, same way it is done for recurve bows? I use Dyneema SK75 for bow strings and they perform excellent. But i hear Dynaflight97 and Mercury 2 are even better materials. Not sure what kind of Dyneema u used and if flemish twist is inferior to your type of twisting.>> <<@aaronajbird07 says : That is some awesome 😊👍>> <<@ghostrr7690 says : 1. Does this string need eye and mid section extra protection? 2. Maintenence is the same as regular string or ?>> <<@Hazmat616 says : When will gogun have a Dyneema string for sale?>> <<@wysman2669 says : Wow! You’re awesome! I’ve been looking for a while on an aftermarket string that would be better than the OEM string, for my reverse bat crossbow. No luck until I was tipped off about your U-Tube channel. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!! I am now a subscriber to your channel! Thank you!!!>> <<@QuentinDuplessis-g1v says : Hi Joerg.Great video. Wont string last longer if you put serving string on that slides over rail,like the original string. Thanks for the educational videos.Greetings from South Africa>> <<@leonbondior says : merci pour votre ingéniosité et enthousiasme>> <<@anthonylockleair5654 says : Great job Sir>> <<@daz97 says : Use your revo cocking system bro It would be the one above all 😂 Sorta>> <<@cabbagectrl says : Warning do not dry fire. Joerg: Platsch, platsch, platsch...>> <<@remvisual9201 says : Now, I can't help but wonder whether there would be any visible improvement if I were to replace the string on my Asiatic bows with Dyneema ... I mean in terms of speed and lifetime. I shoot 200-280 arrows/hour, for 1-3 hours at once, thumb draw (with a leather finger tab now, Korean Sugakjiring soon).>> <<@Imperio112 says : Hey lieber Jörg, was ist aus dem Thema geworden? Hab da nie wieder was von gehört und auch keine Komerziellen Strings dieser Art gesehen seither. Hat Dyneema doch Nachteile?>> <<@cr0ft-2k says : Dyneema is very impressive; ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE. I carry some thicker Dyneema fishing line in my EDC kit just in case I need to tie something together or even make a clothes drying line or something. Insanely strong for its thickness. It seems like a no-brainer to use the material for bow strings.>> <<@chrisg7648 says : Was going to buy a 90lb limb. Was sick of broken bolts/fletching..bought a few mtrs dyneema and made a string 1cm longer than my adder string. It's now 2cm longer and hangs on the rail. Catches every time never had a missfire and bolts stop in target before the fletchings. Thanks for the video saving me a fortune in bolts>> <<@brucerenoir2831 says : Ich dachte, es würde kompliziert sein, aber indem ich Joergs Schritte genau befolgt habe, Schritt für Schritt, habe ich gerade meine ersten beiden Sehnen hergestellt. Sobald man das Prinzip verstanden hat, ist es super einfach. Mein 75-Pfund-Bogen scheint sogar mit der ersten Sehne, die ich gemacht habe (deutlich kürzer als die zweite), noch kraftvoller zu sein. Vielen Dank, Joerg! I thought it was going to be complicated, but by carefully following Joerg’s steps, one by one, I just made my first two bowstrings. Once you understand the principle, it’s super easy. My 75 lb bow even feels more powerful with the first string I made (which is noticeably shorter than the second one). Thank you, Joerg!>> <<@goldeneagle5823 says : Awesome videos your a smart man, thank you keep up the great videos 👍👌🤝🤜🤛>> <<@julioamorales5165 says : Hi can that string also be twisted clockwise to make it tighter on the crossbow>> <<@scottwalmer9248 says : Can you now manufacturer these strings for the adder, the siege, the interceptor and the REVO 7? I will definitely buy a couple of each! Let's get them into production! 3mm please! Let's get that power up a bit. I just got my INTERCEPTOR, and would love a 3mm string made of this material. Thank you 🎯🏹>> <<@victordeprez says : Is this available for the cobra siege already done? So you can have multiple dyneema siege 300 strings on hand?>> <<@blackhand9581 says : The solution is duct tape and heat shrink tube Wrap a single layer of duct tape on the point of contact. Then slip a heat shrink tube on it. The tape acts as a barrier to prevent the string from getting frayed when you start replacing the tube>> <<@Dirtnapsvr says : Any update on this video? I would like to know if you used serving on the loops and middle string of you get even more life out of the string. Im hoping to make these strings for the revo 7>> <<@rayphillips3059 says : I tried using this 3mm Dyneema on the interceptor and it lasted a few shots before it ripped up the string and just misfired bending the bolts, so back to the standard string with bound serving for now?>> <<@brucerenoir2831 says : seems to be a metalmade trigger on your crossbow, am I right ?>> <<@johnmadrigal7217 says : Show me it's features....>> <<@richardradon says : What scope do you have on the Adder?>> <<@richardradon says : WoW!! I'll try some of that. Thank for the video, keep um coming 😃>> <<@aronhansen5756 says : LIKE & SUB Cool info .can be used to many things>> <<@justforheckofit says : I bought 1/8" Dyneema rope, unfortunately it is quite thicker than 3.175 mm, more like 4. But it will get used. Second try was 2 mm rope and that is way better, just a pain to splice with a plastic straw and copper wire. The best tool for really small diameter of woven string is a 12" cheap thermometer from farm/surplus store. The tube is hollow, thin wall stainless steel and about 2.5 mm with a point. Inside is a thin rigid wire which you can bend in half and squeeze the bend to a nice point. Less than $5 CAD. Just thought I'd share this 😃>> <<@philippeseillery says : Bonjour je ne sais pas si je le ferai un jour mais merci de donner aux gens là chance de pouvoir les faire à beaucoup moins cher et bravo pour votre travail 👏 et peut on vous en acheter? Bonjour de France>> <<@dric507 says : Big thanks !! 😘>> <<@Strelec666 says : Und wenn wir das Dyneema aufziehen, erhöht sich dann die Lebensdauer nicht noch mehr?>> <<@joshawageorge2122 says : 🤔 The geometry of a crossbow can be a major cause of string failure 😏>> <<@fishong6899 says : Can for compound bow?>> <<@raulalejandrolugones6079 says : Estimado Joerg, las cuerdas de dyneema de 4 mm a los cuatro o cinco disparos se revientan, se cortan quedando sus hebras adelgazas y fusionadas cómo si les hubiese aplicado calor intenso.>> <<@doexarmi3034 says : Sau gudd! Absolut genial! Grüße aus Saarbrücken, Markus>> <<@ozjohntekson7202 says : It has been two years since the release of this video. If the Dyneema string is cheaper and better why did the crossbow manufacturers still not adopt this innovation and still produce and sell the conventional bow strings? 🤔>> <<@Jones-xx2gc says : Brilliant.>> <<@FullKarenMusic says : I wonder how kevlar would hold up?>> <<@FullKarenMusic says : Looks like Dyneema is the trademark brand name for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene or UHMWPE>> <<@attilakrisztianszegedi8008 says : Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻>> <<@timokomulainen says : Really interesting. However, are you still using these self-made dyneema strings, Joerg, and if not, why?>> <<@davidcmusic-l6s says : I could only find 16 strand but I assume this will work ($40 for 61 m).>> <<@davidcmusic-l6s says : Very Cool, that one weaving bit reminds me of a Chinese finger trap. This tip is an awesome game changer, and I laugh at myself because I just purchased 5 strings and thinking how frugal I was. HAH, learn something new every day. Now I just need to buy some of your super cord🦸‍♂and a new pair of eyes🥸>> <<@wernersteiner5889 says : Hello Mr. Sprave. I have a question about building the bowstring yourself with Dyneema. Since you cannot or should not twist the Dyneema tendon, do you use the length of the twisted tendon, otherwise it would be too long?>> <<@michaelzehrfeld7766 says : ...would it now be possible to buy ready-made Dyneema strings for the respective crossbows?>> <<@jameshiner67 says : That's a game changer>> <<@devaddulovic7784 says : Danke. Du hast mir viel Verzweiflung und Geld gespart. Bei meiner Siege ist die Orginalsehne nach 20 Schuss defekt gewesen. Natürlich kein Ersatz dabei. Das wiederum hieß für mich Sachen Packen und nachhause. Danke dir 🎉>> <<@LETME-kl9jg says : Joerg, the serving needed is High powered fishing line,... its used on some Compound bow strings. The recurve crossbow strings I see look like just a bunch of B-50 strands and a cloth serving. But, if you use fishing string for a serving it is much stronger to ware and it protects the string. As for your strings Dyneema I'd add bees wax for added strength. Joerg~ Dyneema is a type of bow string Dynaflight D-97, BCY FORMULA 8125 and DYNEEMA '02 ARE ALL BOW STRING MATERIALS. I'm thinking your Dyneema rope hack is like a Flemish string for Compounds.>>
