: Yes, I have and it works fine. Having done literally thousands of servings on
: bowstrings, it's second nature to me.

Literally thousands? Did you work for a manufacturer? An archery shop?

Plastic servings weren't much fun. Serving peep sights with dental floss we did a lot. (We were in high school, mostly--and it was cheap!)...I did literally...tens... ;)

A couple of my friends used those stoopid ball-bearing releases, and they were hell on servings. I hated when they'd use them on my bow, even for 5 or 6 shots.

I think if I get back into archery, I'll go traditional, anyway.
