Looks fine to me, fling a few and it will settle down

 

Normal "brace height" off the dampers for me is about 1/8-1/4". When I install new string, I leave it at 1/2". Couple dozen shots and a few days of settling and string will find it final happy length as Janesy says.

 

Looks good to me also, if the bow shop installed it at the "recommended brace height" it would be against the REDS in no time due to stretch. I also install my new strings with the initial extra brace height, they will stretch a bit and settle in. The one thing I'm paranoid about is not having the string put pressure on the REDS, I've seen multiple Excalibur's where the string is actually deforming them due to improper brace height, that's a NO NO on Excaliburs!

 

Mine looked liked that two days ago on my Mag 340. Now, it's about 1/4 from the REDS
No worries there

 

Looks like a perfect brace for a new string. Send a few down range and give it a couple days and it will settle into normal position…

 

I remember those days when I was sending out the same exact question. Man, does time go by fast.
But, this is how we all learn, from each other here on the nation

 

make sure the put xcaliber part #1993 and not part #10602. They both fit but the 10602 will fit tight and prolly tear chit up.

 

I would not be happy the way that bowstring is served.
There is no serving where the bowstring hits the string stops
which can eventually damage the strands of the bowstring.
All my crossbows, I make sure that serving extends a wee bit
past the outer edge of the string stops.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

I prefer the serving to extend past the bumpers also but have not really had or herd of problems with the shorter serving .
When its time for a serving job I reserve past the bumpers .
But manufactures are looking to save money and boost speed so shorter servings is what they do .

 

Serving...It's a factory string. It's perfectly fine. No reason to get people worked up.

 

That’s true - it’s a factory string… Get with @Myers and get yourself a couple of his flemish strings! You’ll be much better off IMO! Excellent strings!

 

You should ditch that string and get a good flemish string...after going flemish...you'll never even want to look at another factory string.

 

Thanks for your help. So all in all it looks ok?

 

Your good to go fire away and your string will stretch as you do and settle into a ideal brace height yust off the bumpers.
