If anyone out there can help me it would be great. I perform repairs to my bow myself. It is time to put a new string on my bow and I was wondering if anyone out there knows how many twists need to be put on top of the serving and on the bottom?
The string should be twisted as one unit, not above and below as you discribe. ALL servings should be applied in the same direction as the string twist (clockwise string twist = clockwise serving installation).THB said:If anyone out there can help me it would be great.

Yes, you need to do as EPLC said. My string and cable(s) come ready to install and should not need any additional twisting except to adjust peep sight rotation and cable lean.EPLC said:The string should be twisted as one unit, not above and below as you discribe.

On 2 cam strings I make them about 1/2" oversize and then twist to length, one-cam I go about 3/4" over and then twist. Cables are 3/8" over and twist. Some folks use a specific number of twists per inch but my method produces as much consistancy but I don't actually count the twists.THB said:Thanks for the info, can you also tell me how many twists are needed?
