I think the string should be twisted, if the strands are straight it can "parachute". Anywhere between the lines is fine, but you will find your bow has one spot it likes best.

i would twist the string until it is a little closer to the line closest to the trigger. after you shootit a few times it may settle in and be a LITTLE closer to the front line. i would not let the string get beyond the front line, so keep a check on it and have fun and enjoy it!
thanks philip
