Default Questions

So I just got some stuff and now I have some questions. I bought a 101 airborne in Nov. of last year and the string was needing a replacement. My order came in and I put the string on, D loop, nock, peep, and all looks great. I go out to shoot and man I lost a good inch on my draw. I cannot hit my stop. How long do I have to put up with this before thestring stretches or could I have received the wrong string. The package reads 101. If this is going to be a while, maybe I shoud buy a spare pair of mods 0.5" longer. Second, anyone have a good thread for doing vanes. I gave it a shot today and I did better than gander but that is not what I amtrying to do. I'd post a pic but there would be a few that would really get a kick out of the pics.

Let me see.....

You LOST an inch on your draw......but you can't reach your draw stop? I don't understand that one.

Also....a quality string isn't gonna stretch a whole lot.......and especially not very quickly.

I'm wondering if you received a bow with the correct mods on it (for what you THINK you purchased).

It sounds like you don't know what you are really doing. I'd suggest taking it to your local bow shop and let them figure it all out for you including fletching your arrows or atleast gets some tips from them where they can show you if you want to do your own. WCL

One of the cables needed to be twisted 14 times to get the cams to match the previous marks. Back on track and shot the best score ever 298 43x

You need to take this bow in to someone who knows what they're doing. I'm guessing the mods are NOT the ones you thought they were. There is NO WAY a cable shoud have to be twisted that much if you have the proper mods. NO WAY.

I'd question if I had the correct mods. You obviously don't....or you've misjudged your draw length requirement.
