Never had a problem with a string before.. Got a new string last week (double looped Flemish twist) for my English longbow. When The string was finished it had a brace height of 6.5 inches.
About a week later and a n dozen arrows of practice I noticed the distance was going and the brace height had fallen by an inch and a half. So I put six twists into the string which started to bring the brace height up.. Another six and it was nearly there and then a couple more and if reached 6.25 which is my rule of thumb. Within a couple of shots the brace height was down again and I noticed the string ends where unbound.
I don't think I unwound it.. The brace height would a have decreased not increased.. So anyone shed some light on what happened?
Flemish twist is pretty bullet proof must it have been unwound before I started shooting?
