That is my 13 year old (14 now)daughter's go to hell look andplaying around with the camera.
The biggest issue you have with serving not being the same with the twist is a string that will not settle,therefore,a peep that constantly rotates.Which means an inconsistant string.
I don't build string but my guy has discussed this with me and not sure if he ever mentioned the speparation issue being a result but seems plausible to me.

You know I never knew that. I probably should since I do this with an endless loop trad string.
Do you think this is the cause forserving separation issue? What issues with winding opposite cause?
And man I got to ask, whats with the wild picture you have on your avatar?

One more thing that makes a quality string is the direction of the serving,which imo,is where the mass producers for bow companies blow it big time.One end will be 1 direction and the other end will be the opposite,when both ends should be the same direction as the twist.

Now... I fully concur with shooting Dan (MeanV) a PM; he'll treat you right, and it'd be hard to get a nicer set of strings than VT's -- especially for the price.

Asside from the Avatar thing i did not know or realize that either. I have "crackers" strings and my serving is starting to seperate with about 1000 shots on them[>:] maybe that is the culprit. is there any way to tell TFOX?

My guy took a magnifying glass to one of my stock bows once and he could tell,not exactly sure what he was looking for.But,he said one end was right and the other end was not.
I doubt Crackers would be doing it incorrectly.

Do we know if Vapor Trail is doing it right. I would assume so because min look as good as new with 10,000+ shots on them from my 82nd.

I would assume so as well.
Like I have stated earlier,I do not build mine.I have someone with YEARS of experience and tons of credibility and accomplishments in this area and this was some info he gave me.
It might be something that not all agree with,not sure but I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
I wish I had a pic of a couple of strings he built for me.It was a tri colored BUT,not in the normal sense.There was a base color that ran the full length but at the top,the base color had one color with it and at the bottom,the base had a DIFFERENT color with it.So,it looked like it was a 2 color string,but it was just 2 different colors at the top than it was at the bottom.
He said he could only do that with certain length strings.

RE: Advantages to a new string
So, someone explain to me how in the world you could get both end servings going in the same direction as the twist in the string and have them finish properly.
The wayI understand it, and the way I serve a string is to start at the loop and finish toward the center of the string.
This will cause one serving to wrap with the twist and the other to wrap against the twist.
So if both are wraping with the twist how do you finish the one that is going to end at the loop rather then ending toward the center?
