How do you keep your spare string?

For those that have a spare string... One that you have shot in to get most of the stretch out. How do you store it to keep it from untwisting so you can put it on and be pretty close to where you need it to be?

Paper Clip works great, then pop it into a zip lock baggie.

Typically I will change out a string from the previous season and reserve it. Put it back on the bow and shoot it a week. Then paper clip the end loops together and as excaliber said it goes in a zippy bag into my hunting pack.

I use twist ties for my Strings and store in a sandwich bag.

1st wax string good
2nd wire tie or paper clip
3rd seal in a seal a meal bag

Before using will sit is sun for about an hour to soften wax

Have done this for about 8 years with good results

....how 'bout for those of us who have a wardrobe of strings, with matching arra's (must learn how to accessorize!

)....yes the paperclip method in a baggie works!

I don't always keep the ends twisted together but when I do I use the twist ties that I got from a pack of tie down straps, and I keep my strings in a water proof container I picked up at walmart.
