I am thinking about just cutting it off my bow string
Just how where you going to cut it off?

What you need to do is get a good quality string and cable( get one from gibblet ) and have a shop install them as you need a press.

Then go shoot the bow about 100 times to shoot the string in then have the shop check to make sure the bow is in spec if itsnot in specget them to make any adjustmentsthen have them install the peep.

Hey Russell Gibblet is going to have to give up some advertising money

i believe ausie is correct, way down in my heart! when i used to shoot WC strings i quickly learned there was no use putting my peep in on day one. i would shoot about 50 times, let the bow sit overnight, shoot about 50 times the next day and then install it. man does that save time in the long run.

now i shoot a timberline no-peep (peep cost me low light shot on a deer and i decided 'never again'). another great thing about the no-peep is it stays on the bow, so i'll swap cables, retime cam, put string on, retime cam, and i can tell by the no-peep if my loop is in the right place, and i'm shooting exactly the same immediately.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle thats the second time gibblet has agreed with me.

Of course the first time was when I said he made a great string

TFOX, I agree with you that prestretching is not the only answer. I just forget to finish things. Teh whole idea of prestretching the string is to even out the stress on each strand so they all do equal work. As for serving I agree that this is important. But the string should have the proper amount of twists in it prior to serving.

Sounds like you've made a few strings so you most likely know all this. I thank you for your input, though. Afterall, even after 32 years of shooting compound bows I'm still learning new stuff, almost on a daily basis. GEEEES, if I could only remember half of it tomorrow. LOL
