About Me
If you've found this page you've probably bought a string from me on eBay, or been referred to me by a friend. Buying direct from me on this page allows me to offer you a small discount, and also save on eBay fees. eBay takes 14% on every sale made! It really adds up.
Hi there! My name is Anthony, and I like long bows and recurves.
I've been into traditional/primitive archery for over a decade. In 2012 I started making wooden bows for myself, so I would call myself a hobby bowyer (bow-maker). More recently, I got the wild idea to start up a small archery business. I'm starting with Flemish Twist Strings. I have been making primitive bows for ten years now, and I have always made my own strings for those bows. About a year ago I decided to start selling Custom Flemish Twist bow strings for a little extra cash.
This isn't my full-time job, just something I do on the side. Although it a part of a part of a larger self-employment strategy, I'm also not looking to make it my full time job or get so big that I can land my strings in big-box stores or anything. But I do stand by my strings, and believe them to be of high quality, competitive with the strings made by professional string makers who do this kind of work day in and day out. Saying that—I'm just one guy making each string by hand. Know that there could be some variance.
Most strings will be completed within a day or two of receiving the order, and sent out the day it's finished or the next day. Many times it is done same day!
If you have any problems, please let me know! I will always do my best to work with you and sort out any issues that you might have, and I hold myself to a standard of excellent customer service. All I ask is for some understanding and patience. It goes a long way. I am just a regular guy trying to make some extra dough, and gain a little bit of freedom through self-employment.
Keep an eye on this page, as I plan to expand my offerings beyond bow strings in the near future.
Thank you so much for checking out my page!

Shipping, Returns, and Other Information
I offer free shipping as the standard option. When selecting this option the string will be sent as standard mail in a non-machineable stamped envelope. Free shipping through standard mail does not come with a tracking number.
I've had a few rare occasions of the US Postal Service having issues sending the strings as standard mail, and asking for additional postage or sending strings back. Be aware of this! I've done my best to read through USPS guidelines and comply with all of their rules, but sometimes a picky postal worker might have some issue with the package and request additional postage.
Because of this I also offer upgraded shipping at a cost of $4 to send it as a First Class Mail Package, which includes a tracking number.
I can also ship using Priority Mail, if speedy delivery is of utmost importance to you. I make my strings in a first-in, first-out basis, as the orders are made. If you pay for Priority Mail shipping you'll also "jump the line," and the string will be my first priority in building and getting in the mail.
Packaging is minimalistic—just a an envelope with a details/instruction sheet. In most cases no unnecessary plastic packaging. Doing what I can to reduce the amount of single-use plastics I use!
Until I have reason to change this policy, as long as strings are returned un-used and un-damaged, I will continue to offer hassle-free returns, exchanges, or refunds.
