yeah, jeff, that's exactly what i'm saying. during the draw there is contact. i'm shooting a reflex (if you want to get technical.) everything on the bow looks okay to me. it just really looks like the string end loops are really wide and big around. (please refrain from the "that's what she said" jokes. ) anyway, of course i didn't have this problem with the factory string as the end loops were MUCH smaller and more narrow. (again, no jokes. ) do you think it could just plain be an issue of the number of strands in the wc string as opposed to the factory string?
