    You can buy strings from the web easily enough as long as you know what you want. Archery Shop Ireland is based in Blessington; Shooting Style is based in Trim. If you belong to a club someone there may make strings. So you have a few options.

    A string is normally referenced by the length of the bow it is used on. The material it's made from needs to be known and suit the limbs .... Dacron (B50) or one of the Fastflight materials. Also the number of strands, your choice of centre serving material. These last two need to match up to the size of the nocks you are using (they generally are one of two sizes).

    Might be easiest to take the whole bow to a shop....................... :)

    Welcome to the forum sinno. I can't help you with your query but if push comes to shove I think Keith Hanlon of ASI would be able to help. He's based in Valleymount, Co. Wicklow.
