String stretch
Snowing finally stopped in the mountains and I got to shoot my new 350 SE. My matrix came with the green string and initially had a brace height of 1.5". Will I lose many FPS as my string stretches. Shooting 400 grain bolts very fast now based on drop distance from 20-30 yards. Thanks to all
Re: String stretch
Keep it off the bumpers if you have them, or keep it above the minimum recommended height. I'm not sure what that dimension is.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!
Re: String stretch
As of now I am one inch off bumpers. 30 shots so far and brace height is still at 1.5". The bow is shooting great at this point and I have no complaints.
Re: String stretch
1 inch off the bumpers sounds like quite a bit, leave it cocked overnight and shoot it some more, it may stretch some. A string expert will come along and chime in with more concise advice. Jefro

Re: String stretch
After some enlightening posts from Boo about gained speed at higher brace heights, i would not worry too much. I do keep mine about 1/4" from the bumpers, but if it is shooting great, let it ride right there. It will come down some after lots of shooting.

Re: String stretch
I bet it won't take long and that string will stretch all the way down to the bumpers
