Center serving question

[boog21]

The served area on the center of my string is over eight inches long.  Seems like about half as much would more than cover the area contacted by the arrow nock and my fingers.  Why is the served area so long?

You will want to protect the part of the string that may come in contact with your armguard from time to time.

Hadn't thought about that.  Makes sense.

Or for three-under shooters and string walkers.
