OK - thanks. When I first got the bow, there was a 1/16" gap. I could hear a slight buzzing sound coming off the string after firing. So I moved it back to where it just touched the string. Buzz quit. Was wondering if there was any down side to this, like reduced string life.
Take a dollar bill, and fold it in half. If you can slip it through the gap between string and STS/CSS, you are all set. That is how I have set it up, and never have had a buzz. Now, if you have a Vectrix, that is a different story. Those can be a pain to get just right. You can serve the string where it contact the STS to reduce string wear, but it might cost you 1 or 2 fps.
