Full compound sets
Sets for compound bows running two to seven strings and cables, built to your customer's bow.
PSE bows require the serial number and HOYT bows require the cam number, so those two brands need one extra detail from you.

What you would be ordering
Made to the bow, in the colours they pick
Nothing here comes off a rack. Each set is built for the bow it's going on, which is why the details in the next section matter more here than they would for something out of a box.
Single strings
Up to two colours, the end serving in the colour they want, and the centre serving always in black.
If the bow's model is a mystery, send us the string length and the details you do have.
Colours
Every colour on the chart is open to them
One string colour is fine, and plenty of customers ask for it. The rest of the choices are theirs to make: a second colour, speed nocks or none, the end serving, the centre serving. Send us the names off the chart and that's what gets laid up.

How a dealer order runs
Get the numbers right once, at the start
A set built to the wrong lengths is a bow that won't come into spec and a customer waiting twice. Two minutes on the details up front saves that, for you and for us.
-
Send the spec
One set, one lot of details: the bow, the extra number if it's a PSE or a HOYT, and the colours off the chart.
-
Tim checks it
He confirms the order back to you, and asks if something is missing rather than guessing at it.
-
Made on the bench
Laid up by hand in Argenton from BCY materials, to the lengths that bow needs.
-
Back to you
Tim tells you when the set is made and how it's coming across, so you can tell your customer something true.

If a customer of yours would rather have the bow done on the spot, Tim fits strings and tunes bows at the Argenton workshop. All bow service work is done after 3pm, and he confirms the time when he confirms the booking.

What your customers are getting
All strings manufactured in Australia with only the best quality BCY materials available.
Tim has been at this a long while: over 40 years of experience in the archery industry, as he puts it, making his own strings from 2009 and running Big Fella's Bow Strings since 2015. Jordan joined the family business in 2025, so there are two pairs of hands on the bench.
The name goes on the serving of every set, and they back it up in the field as well. In their own words: “We proudly support individuals and sponsor teams across all disciplines of the sport.”
Dealer enquiry
Tell us about your shop or club
Fill in what you can. Tim will come back to you about how dealer orders work and what suits the size of your business.
What happens next
A conversation, not a form letter
- 1Tim reads the enquiry himself and gets back to you by phone or email.
- 2You talk through what your shooters need and how ordering would work for you.
- 3From then on, orders come in by email or over the phone, one lot of details per set.
Rather just ring?
You get the workshop, not a call centre. Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
0427 581 864How do existing dealers order?
By email or over the phone. Send the bow details and the colours for each set, the same details listed above, and Tim confirms the order back to you.
Do you publish dealer pricing?
No, dealer pricing isn't on the site. Send the enquiry or ring Tim and he will go through it with you. The retail prices your customers see are on the order page.
Can we order a single set for one customer?
Send the details for that one bow and it gets made the same as any other. If you want to talk about ordering more than one at a time, ask Tim what suits.
We're a club, not a shop. Is that alright?
Send the form and tell us about the club, how many shoot with you and what they shoot. It's a small workshop, so the useful answer comes from a conversation rather than a page.
What if a customer's bow is old and hard to find specs for?
Tell us what you have: the make, the model, the string and cable lengths off the old set if they're readable. Tim would rather chase the numbers down than guess at them.
Which colours can we offer?
The full list on the colour charts page. Screen colours are a guide; the printed chart is the reference, so it's worth having the real chart in front of a customer.
