Default Serving wear

Youns guys who have serving wear problems should turn your string once in a while so that the serving lasts longer.

You could swap ends if you want but what you want to happen is to roll the string over and have the claws hold the string 180 degrees from were it was holding before. Another way to look at it is that the claws were holding the front of the serving so turn or rotate each end so that your claws hold on to the rear of the serving or the other side. It is a simple concept just difficult to describe.

If you notice when adj brace height, your end loops have a bend in them. I just turn the bend to the opposite direction on each limb. Your serving is holding up much better than factory, Don, thanks again. I also read where you are donating strings to the guys entering the big competition coming up in Canada, kudos to ya, bud!

I turned my string around 180 degrees, but it made the crossbow awkward to hold and I keep bumping my head on the stirrup?

I tried turning string around but all it does is make the stock and rail go from left side back to my right![:-][&o][]
