New string replacment

So I got my new string for my Axiom in the mail today from Danny Miller. I know it will stretch since it is new. But how many twist should I give it when I put it on at first? I know how to set my BH should I just set it there and leave it cocked over night? Thanks

I like my brace height on my Phoenix to be between 1 - 1⅛". I usually trist a new string to get a little above that and adjust as necessary.
BTW - I also like to wax a new string (lightly) before I shoot with it.

Try 5 twists to start .

What kind of string is it? if its an Excel EL string you can get by (probably) with fewer than if its a Flemish Fast Flight. The FFF strings take a few twists. I'de start with 8. If its toooo high thats ok. Trust me it will settle down more than you think.

I ordered a standard string from Danny and I spoke to him and he said 12 twist so I did that and my BH is 1 3/4" right now. I have not shot it yet. Danny said to have a BH of 1-1 3/8"' I was keeping my BH at 1 1/2" with my old string. Should I cock it and leave it over night or just leave it alone to get it to stretch?

Cocking it and leaving overnight will help!And get out there and shoot it if you can!

I agree about five twists to start with... danny miller makes a great string but they sure like to creep. It takes a little while to set in, but once it does your good to go......bubba.....

Well I got my new string from Danny on my Axiom and shot it few times. It seems to be more acurate? My BH is 1 1/2" like on my old string so I will leave it there and shoot it more tomorrow.

It seems to be more accurate?

Could be the 'new broom' thingy............?

Congrats on the new string.
