Awesome video as always I've been shooting for many many years I knew that the string weights added extra FPS but never knew the explanation of exactly why other than speed. Also, never knew you didn't need serving around the cams but it totally makes sense . Thanks
I like the tip about no serving around the cam area, would benefit target archers, but as for a hunting application, I've found that having the serving around the cam area, helps to protect the string fibers from being damaged ,especially the bottom cam, from sometimes resting the bottom cam on the ground while hunting or when carrying your bow around in the woods. I sometimes find little nicks, dings, scratches, etc. around my bottom cam, that I have to take some emery paper to, and smooth them out, but not too much on the top cam.I think most hunters would be better off, protecting the string fibers, with serving around the cam areas. I love all these videos, Great information !
I have a question. When I miss while target shooting the majority of the time, it's a low left miss. Im a right-handed shooter, 32" draw length, ultraview hinge release, gen 1 reckoning. What do you think the issue is? Thanks much.
It should look like you're going perpendicular to the string fibers, and not parallel to them. So if the string twists clockwise, and turning counter clockwise tightens the string, you want to serve counter clockwise.
I think with regards to cam serving that is pretty logical GRIV, however, in the real world isn't this asking for accelerated wear through the collection of dirt and grime?

I will say this does not apply to Bear bows. Those cams will absolutely eat through strings and serving.
Why cam serving is almost always longer then actually needed if it slows down the string?

Love the courage to not serve the string through the cam
Which direction in relation to the string twist should the serving go?
Serve in the same direction as the twist.
so that when you twist the string up, it tightens the serving, not loosens it.
Exactly. I didn’t hear that mentioned so I thought I would bring it up. Thanks 😜
