Yea I know it gets old.But you guys can be so confusing at times The strings that are not flemish I'm talking about.Like what comes on the matrix stock string.You say twist it counter clockwise.Well my JBK string you put on clock wise twist on the right side.The left side if I did that would be counter clockwise.If I turned it around it would be the same still.Unless both sides are suppose to be twisted in the same direction on both sides??If it is well mines on wrong but shoots dead nuts on!! Now I'm confused again

I have been.The right side.Clockwise.But If I want to twist the left side it twist counterclockwise.So are what you saying just twist the one side thats counter clockwise?
Not sure what the confusion is, but I'll give answering the question a try.
It doesn't matter which side of the bow you are working from, but the twisting is in respect it the limb closest to you. If you twist the right side CCW then walk around to the left side and twist it CCW you are still twisting the string in the same direction.
It is only necessary to twist from one side! The string is still going to be twisted it's entire length.

Well on my new string it looks like its twisted in opposite directions on both sides.So is it on wrong? It shoots ok.Its clockwise on right side of bow and counter on left.
If you adj your bheight w/ xbow on your lap, you are 'working' inside the limb tips, it's clockwise. If you adj the string from the end of the bow looking at the end of the tip, it's counter clockwise.
The string twists the same direction in each case, it's where your eye is that determines cw vs ccw.
The confusion comes from one person saying it's counter clockwise [from outside the limbs] to the next guy that says, no, it's clockwise [from inside the limb tips.]
On a flemish you need to twist counterclockwise so the twists in the string are oriented like this:
"\\\\\\\\\\\\"
Look at how the twists are in this string, they are in the direction of "\\\\\\\\"
Matrix 380
18" Zombies, 400 gr w/ 125 gr Magnus Stingers & Lumenoks
Exomag
20" Zombies, 380 gr w/ 100 gr Magnus Stingers
Maybe this will help. If you're a geezer, get out the extra light and a magnifying glass. Guess which way you twist the string to tighten the serving? (this is for the OP).
