Doesn't take long at all to make one Kirk, after the learning process that is. And you don't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. I spotted a little Place in one of my loops a few days ago while shooting, I got worried that it might break. So when I got back inside I made one right quick with padded loops, problem solved, and all within a short period of time.

They sure do.
I own a couple Tamerlanes and prefer the endless loop on them because that's what the top shooters were using back when these bows were made (1960's) but that's really the only reason. Everything else has Flemish on it.

Flemish just looks right. Endless is supposed to give a little better performance.

I agree, the Flemish look cool.
