RE: STRING TWIST
Was it twisted at all when you put it on? Are you sure you were twisting it the right direction?
When the string was made, if they had twists in it BEFORE they did the end or center serving, you may be equalling out the string by twisting it the opposite direction of the previous twists under the serving areas. And once the string is under tension, the twists start to equal out.

RE: STRING TWIST
Navy,I just went through this myself with my Cybertec.I found that I didn' t put enough twists into it when I first put it on and when I drew my bow the top string leech popped out so I went back and twisted her up so I had a twist every inch or so an it tuned up good at that point.Ron

RE: STRING TWIST
You don' t want to twist the string just for the sake of having twists in it. It should be twisted to the proper length (under tension). Adding more twists then needed to get to proper length, will change the tension the limbs are under and your draw length. Most custom string makers take this into account and allow for a reasonable number of twists. Most machine made strings, creep to the point where you continually have to add twists to keep things the same.
