| Hi Rik,
Definately some food for thought there. I usually string the bow and draw it a few times without shooting, which seems to settle it down. Then I check the brace height and if necessary restring the bow after putting in a couple of twists to bring the height to the 'usual value'. I then check every so often while shooting to see if it changes. Sometimes the brace height will drop 2 or 3mm and I ignore that. On that paricular case the brace height dropped by a lot more than normal. I recently saw the same effect again and put more twists on the string to fix the brace height.
I have now changed to new limbs and a 66" bow lenght instead of 68". I'm using the same make of commercial fast flight string. It'll be interesting to see if it behaves in the same way. In both cases there was a change in weather conditions (the second one indoors happened after the hall warmed up dramatically after starting out cold). May be the string expanded due to the heat... |
