I agree. The yoke lean is normal, however that cable looks like it's REALLY twisted up.
That’s nothing… look at stock Zebras before and after they’re tuned and twisted after stretch
Curious - why do Zebra strings and other string builders (GAS in this example) build the cables in a way that they kind of rope up below/above the splitter when twisted? I’ve seen pics of your builds and they don’t do that
I have and never had a string/cable twisted that much up. Might be that lengths are off.
Go look at the stock photography of the bows on the Mathews website, you can literally count the cable twists as they rope over each other
I don't recall what my stock Zebra strings looked like because I change them out before I even start tuning a new bow. What I can tell you is that my replacement strings have NEVER looked like that. I'm sure that if Mathews puts them on like this that it's OK, however this might be why Zebras strings seem to be so unstable even after several hundreds of shots.
I cannot speak for any other builders process. We all have to develop our own system and the key to building bowstrings is simply developing your process and repeating it. I can say I build mine the way I do because the lengths are more consistent and the look is much cleaner. I have built with rolled loops in the past and just wasn't a fan. Cannot say I will ever build them that way again even though they are functional.
Very respectful comment sir
It looks exactly like the strings the bow was designed to shoot
