Really weird limb twist correction.

[Mike Mecredy]

A customer sent me a Ben Pearson equalizer to refinish and fix a slight limb twist and I was working on it today.  I made the bow a new string, a flemish b-50, and when I braced the bow the twist was gone.  When I put the continuous loop string on it to check brace ht, the twist was back.  I put the flemish string back on and the twist was gone.  I twisted the string I made so the brace ht. was like how it is with the continuous loop string as well.

Anybody ever have this happen?  

All I can think is that the flemish string slightly torques the limb back against the twist.  

Weird stuff.

It's too close to Halloween        , I guess you could twist up a string the other way and test your theory. There was a thread on PowWow a little while back, where a guy claims the string twisted the limb.

Are the loops the same size on both strings?

Is there a possibility that there is a broken strand in the endless string?  I would try several different strings before I came to the conclusion that it was the bow.  A similar thing happened to a friend of mine.  The bow he had been shooting had started shooting very inaccurately.  He couldn't figure out what was wrong.  It had a flemish twist on it.  I recommended that he make a new string.  Sure enough, the problem was the old string as the accuracy came back immediately after replacing it with the new one.

Chad,  no the string loops are huge on the endless, on mine I make the lower loop so it's just big enough to fit the nocks and the upper just big enough to slide down the limb when you unbrace it.  That may be a factor as well.  All I know is my flemish string makes the twist go bye bye.

Mike, did ya try swapping the endless string end for end? Maybe the string is getting uneven tension.
