The old "broken in" string is the shortest, completely untwisted it sits on the upper line. The new one is longer, probably getting pretty wore in by now, close to 100 shots on it, twisted like crazy (in comparison) I have it sitting now at exactly 1 1/8" from the riser. I will readjust to that string and assume my old one that won't allow any twists was manufactured too short. I have it set up great for accuracy, but it gave me no room for adjustment.
