Restringing Marquis Story
So I found this interesting and thought I would share. So I have Micheal Deck at Terminal Velocity do all my tuning -- Well I had him do me up some strings and needed a cam change. So he gets the strings on and notices that the peep is twisting on the draw. He is dumbfounded by this. So he trashes the strings and makes another but serves under higher pressure. SAME Problem. Peep rotationg about a quarter of a turn. Now my bow has always done this so to me it wasn't a big deal if he just got it so it ended up aligned for me. But being how he is -- he said he couldn't let me leave with a peep that is rotating. He said this is the first time he has ever had this happen. So after ditching the second set he calls Mike Carter in MO. Mike proceeds to inform him that the idler wheels on Diamonds have little grooves on the tracks of the wheel -- causing the serving and the grooves to work against each other causing the peep to rotate a quarter of a turn (thing about how a nut screws into a bolt). So Micheal then served the 3rd set of with flow yellow serving instead of clear and then put some kind of scorpion venom wax on the serving so it wouldn't grab the grooves as much. Now the peep pulls straight back with no twisting. So for your dealers or people curious -- if you get your hands on a diamond run your fingernail in the tracks of the idler wheel and feel the grooves for yourself. Bad design on a great bow. Just thought I's share. I thought it interesting. Anyone else noticed this
