Flemish string
Greetings. I graduated to using a Flemish string. Installed it on bow. It was right at groove on rail and 1/4" away from S5's. I left it go for a few days to stretch. Just as I thought, the string stretched enough to just barely touching S5's. Shot about 12 shots and checked it later and now string was tight against the stops. I heard that you should not have string resting on stops, so I twisted loop 4x (counter clockwise) Now it is back to 1/4'" away from stops... If I ever need to adjust string again, should I twist it from the other side of limb, or don't that matter? I also herd that it is possible to twist them to much. Don't want to end up doing that! I got 2 strings, so I have a back up. Should I go through a break-in process with that string also, or will it be ok, to use in a pinch. POI did not change at all, still dead on! Thanks, J.

Re: Flemish string
Twist from one end, it makes no difference as long as CCW while looking at the other end when twisting. It is a good idea to shoot one in, then tie the ends up to preserve the brace height when removed, and install, and shoot in the other string, and start hunting!
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing that.xcaliber wrote:Twist from one end, it makes no difference as long as CCW while looking at the other end when twisting.

I just installed a flemish string myself, and before I even shot it over the course of a week I had to keep adjusting the brace height. Otherwise if you had to replace your string with a spare one, you'd have to start the adjusting process all over again. Once I get mine shot in, I'll take it off and keep that as a spare, and install the other spare I have.
Re: Flemish string
how do you "tie the ends up "
Re: Flemish string
Jody , you've been given good advice ! Once you get the first one settled in , If you have time before the season opens , go ahead and stretch the second one in . Use a bread tie or paper clip to hold the loops together so they don't untwist . If they do untwist you'll lose your BH setting . Your String came with just 8/10 twist in it , I do this knowing that you'll have to add a few more twist during the breaking period and will end up with just the right amount , So don't worry about over twisting .

Use anything you can easily remove. A paper clip works great.bobcat wrote:how do you "tie the ends up "
