I set up my bow last night to discover that the bracing height was down by a centimetre. After checking all the obvious things I decided the string must have stretched (it only had about 5 twists in it before).
How much would a string have to stretch to make a 1cm difference to the brace height (68" bow).
The string is about 3 weeks old and has probably shot about 600 arrows.
I think the stretch happened on Saturday shooting outdoors on a field course. It didn't click at the time but the second 14 targets I started shooting low and looking back I now realise I was shooting 5 meters short, but at the time I just blamed bad form). When I shot sighters last night I had to set my 25 metres mark for the 20 yard target!
I got the bow back with 15 twists on the string.
All a bit disconcerting as I've got my first indoor competition on Sunday!!!
