I had my string served at a local shop and within a handful of shots I noticed this little stray appear. It's difficult to tell in the pic but it's not unravelling (yet ) , however there's an 1/8" gap where the string is visable.
Cause for concern, or hunt away this fall? Thanks!

Re: What Do You Make of This? (Serving)
I would carry it back & have them reserve the string.
I wouldn't want to start the season with my serving looking like that...one man's opinion.
The best advice i can give you is to go on Boo's website & learn how to build your own serving jig and reserve your strings yourself.
It's not to hard, the back serve was the tricky part for me but after a few try's even i got the hang of it!!

Yo it doesn't look like yer servin, it looks more like a strand of yer string ? I say that as its white servin is black, unless they got an extra piece of material in there

I agree, I just built one of Don's metal string jigs and figure I can't do any worse then most shops around by evidence of your serving. Plus brother inlaw is making some inserts to slip in top of jig to use the jig as a gun vise.

Re: What Do You Make of This? (Serving)
X2 for all comments this thread. Took me 10 min. to make Don's jig. While I wait for the correct serving tool to arrive I put some heavy twine in jig and use some 100 lb. braided fish line to practice the technique, especially the backserve.
Re: What Do You Make of This? (Serving)
There are a couple ways to finish the serving off. One is to "back-wrap" the serving (like Boo does), and another is to wrap the final few turns of the serving over a "loop" of serving material and pull the tag end back under the last few wraps.
Could be they used a piece of white material (serving or line) to wrap over and pull the tag end of the serving back through (and it broke on them). I've had that happen a few times.

Thanks for the replies folks. I won't be going back to that shop anytime soon and will pop on a spare string for the time being.

Re: What Do You Make of This? (Serving)
Over here some of the shops are not up to scratch with crossbow serving either as they do so few of them. They serve them just like a vertical bow and serving generally ends up seperating. You can get away with a lot more on a low poundage vertical bow than a crossbow. The equinox at 225lbs and with a very acute angle around the trigger claws needs a quality serving job done or it will see a problem very quickly.

This may be a little O/T
But i bought a half dozen Excal strings in Hamilton On 4 of these string didn`t give me 50 shots befor the serving went for a crap LOL
