Brace height issue?
I have a Matrix 380 with a Boo string. I set the brace height and then a few days (or weeks) later the sting is touching the stoppers again. Adjust again and a few days (or weeks) later the string is on the stoppers again. This is without shooting. So far it hasn't seemed to affect the point of impact any when I re-adjust and fire some shots. What is moving, the limbs or the string? Is this something that requires taking action or do I just keep adjusting it as necessary? Thanks!

Re: Brace height issue?
Sounds like normal string stretch it should settle in with use and slow down but that is normal.
mark your preferred height on the side of the riser with a pencil or marker and adjust as necessary with a string twist , it would have to be off quite a bit before any big arrow impact difference is noticed .
Just be thank full it is so easy to fix on a re-curve bow on a compound you can spend a lot time with the bow in the shop getting timing issues fixed.

If you aren't using it, just set the brace height high and let it settle. Or go shoot it 100 times and speed up the process

Yep, set it about 1/4" off the bumpers and don't adjust it again until it's almost touching the bumpers again.

Re: Brace height issue?
You should have installed it at the length that you recieved it at. After less than 50 shots, the string should have stopped creeping. If you backed it off to achieve your braceheight immediately, the string could unravel which it may be doing now. My instructions are clear and are at the bottom of my emails.

Re: Brace height issue?
I did as instructed and my string stopped stretching after 30 shots! Haven’t adjusted the brace height since then!

Re: Brace height issue?
I have a new string by another maker. stretching has slowed down. shoot, shoot, shoot. I believe thats the secret. I noticed a difference when I took it out of air conditioning and put in the garage. The more I shoot, the better it is.
