A couple of the several strings I've had made for me or bought off the shelf just don't want to sit properly in the nock groove of the limbs... at the point where the two end loop halves meet the serving down the string ( if you can grasp what I' mean)..and that's just not right.
I am so close to the beginning of my own string making endeavours that I as yet dont even have the jig, it is on it's way though.
If adjusting the end loop serving ends to cure this-so that they no longer go underneath the thicker (all strands part) of the serving....would it be better to butt all the servings up close...or to have a small gap between them?
Alternatively- I could 'lose' the endloop serving altogether, but would this not promote wear and possible failure- especially if during manufacture the string wasn't twisted before serving?
If I do decide to go for No endloop servings to correct these strings ( which is easier to accomplish...How far Up the string should the 'thicker-nock groove serving' go?
Cheers
this archery lark is definitely a mental game ennit.
