If it's strong enough for making sea going fishing nets it will be strong enough for a bow string!

I once watched a programme about a village in South America making a rope bridge.Actually it was several villages from the surrounding area of a very deep ravine.They corded grass which being high altitude mountain grass was no longer than 6" long from which they made rope about 6" thick.There was a lot of work involved which is why the surrounding villages came together to work but when they finished the briges was safe enough to take a man & a very calm Llama{?} accross.Just goes to prove that the most unlikely materials have excellant strength.The bridge was supposed to be good for 20 years plus or there abouts.
