oh, sorry straightarrow, i apologize, you had it and i missed it. poor finishing knot in the string. the tag ends that got wrapped over, butnot tied in a good knot are sliding each time the bow is fired, but just a teeny, tiny bit. i missed it in your post. i probably read it but just didnt' get that 's what you were saying. so its actually sliding apart.

mildot,why would you ask us to agree about something when you have no earthly idea if its true or not. did he even tell you why he does that? the 400# part? i know, but do you? and no, i don't do it.
you should check out larry's strings on his hoyts. he made them on his jig. no tension other than what the jig gets, which maxes at 70#. no seperation, no rotation. hmmmmm?
