hello,
I just had to (well probably didn't have to but...) replace the string on my Matrix 405. has less than 20 shots on it. the string has stretched to the point where if i remove it it instantly twists up like a pretzel. the serving was starting to seperate on the loops at the end. I emailed Excalibur warrenty and they sent me a new string under warranty. Awesome. I just installed the new string and set the brace height pretty high so it will stretch in over the next few days. after a few days i'll re adjust brace height and take it out shooting.
Is there a way, to extend the service life of this string OTHER than removing it and leaving the bow unstrung over the summer? thats not a difficult task but i'd hate to have to put a new string on every year just because it stretches too much.
Thanks!!!
Ed.

twist it counter clockwise to shorten it up. I would not think the stretching would be cause for replacing it lots of experts on this forum so I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in

Hi Gami., you should get a lot more shooting on that string. Things to do:
1. Set brace height to just over a quarter inch between the string and bumpers
2. Pull the rubber bumpers off and make sure the metal mounts they sit on is are a half ball not a full ball. If it is a full ball remove both metal pieces by backing off the set screws on the underside and cut on file the round ball in half so you have an air pocket between the rubber and the bracket.
3. When you're not using the bow leave the cocking aid hooked up so if the string stretches it can't hit the reds.
***The stock string is fine but eventually you may want to switch to a Flemish string. Try Danny Miller and I recommend buying two so you have an identical backup.

FYI, the new string they sent me for Warranty, has not moved at all. I set brace height and put a piece of masking tape so i could check it. as far as i can tell it hasn't moved at all. which is suprising as before after a few days it was very noticable. I guess i plan to store this bow in the off season unstrung. but we will see!
