I'm hoping you aren't using a string that measures 60" in actual length, because that is far too long and it will take way - WAY- too many twists to get the brace height high enough. If you've got the string twisted so tight that it kinks up when you unstring the bow, then you've got real troubles.

The X-200 uses a 60" AMO string, which means the actual string length would be closer to 56". Recurve strings actual lengths are usually 4" shorter than AMO length. Longbow strings are generally 3" shorter.

Don't know if I've helped you a single bit, but I did want to know if we were on the same page to start with.

By the way... Welcome to the party!
