BRACE HEIGHT

Post by warningshot »

i'm trying to put on the original string ...no twists and it falls just below the lower brace mark towards the trigger ...any twist and it will move farther away from that mark ...is it safe to shoot at this length until it stretches thanks

it will be fine to shoot, it will stretch into place just make sure it doesn't get too low towards the riser

That brace height mark that is closest to the trigger is referred to as the high brace height mark. You would be best to give it a few turns and let it "stretch" even if it sits higher than the highest mark. Take one loop off and while looking at the end turn it counter clockwise and let it sit for a day or two then start shooting. Endless loop strings that are as you describe need to "settle-in" for a day or two before shooting and giving it a couple of turns ensures that the serving is not loosened.
Some people just like stepping on rakes
