Just wondering because it has already stretched about a 3/4 inch,and i noticed i was having trouble finding my anchor.Does this make any sense?That when my brace hieght is shorter my bow fills way differant and harder to get back where i need it to be.

just twist string to proper brace height ,, easy and necesary no big deal every 100 or so arrows cheak brace height and adjust if  required,, the bow will also tell you if it needs brace height adjustmnent by the noise it makes ..  :thumbsup:    :banghead:

Sputterman, as bobw says, if the maker pre-stretched it or just built and sent to you, initially it will squeeze out any wax and stretch 3/4 - 1" for a well made string, if not pre-stretched. This is the design nature of a flemish string. You should be able to take off the bottom loop and twist it about 6-8 turns and string it up and check it again. Also, leave the bow strung for a few hrs. or overnight, and then check. This along with drawing the bow, will help get the string stretched out. And if your still not sure, ask the maker or feel free to send me a pm for any help. Steve
