Default Detecting String Stretch ??


I read a lot of peoples comments regarding string stretch, especially with Single Cams......

How do you determine if your string has stretched and you have a problem ? Sorry if I am asking a dumb question....

Thanks guys

Your cam/cams will be out of the optimum position and your string nock will move .

I don' t know anything about the bow you have, but most bows have some type of marks or small holes on the cams that should run paralell with the bow string--hope this helps.

To know if your string has crept, take it off and measure it. Best cam position is best determined by asking the manufacturer for that particular model.

When I bought my new bow I made pencil marks on each side of my cam, drawing a line along the limb. This way I could easily look to see if the line changed at all because of stretch.
