OK that makes more sense, so I am right it needs a double bow string with a pouch and spacers.

Correct, a doubled string and pouch will be necessary. You might want to locate Helmut Nickel's article, "Stone-bows in the Old and New Worlds" in ARMS AND ARMOR ANNUAL (ed. Rob't Held, Chicago: Follett 1973), which shows examples from several cultures and from these you can get a good idea as to the various ways that a functional version can be made for your crossbow.
