B50 Flemish String

[sabas silva]

I built a string for a 64" Bob Lee longbow and after stringing to stretch I noticed that the top loop was slowly sliding off one side. I restrung making sure it was properly strung in the grooves and it did the same thing a coule of times more and I gave up. Anyone had this happen t them and if so what am I doing wrong. I used TJConrads instruction

You may have a slight twist in the limb? String it up a sight down the string and see if if is in the center of the limbs.When you say slowly sliding off one side,is it coming out of the nock groove?

[sabas silva]

Yes it is coming off the top string groove. have not let it com all the way off but it looks like if I draw the bow it would jump of the groove.
the string I built prior has no problem

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Have you had other strings on the bow, aside from the one you built previously? Was the string you previously built the same?

[sabas silva]

The string that came with the bow was FF. I just built a string for a 56" browning wasp that was given to me and had no problem. I will build a new one soon and see what happens, it is just puzzling to me.

Sabas -

Call me, let's get together with the bow and we'll figure out what's going on.

Thank you Danny, I will do that. Before I went to bed I checked the string and thought it corrected because I had retwisted but then remembered I had reversed the string loops top to bottom and found the bottom loop doing the same thing so it seems like there is a problem in the twist I did
