So I wrecked my new string
I just got a new vapor trail string put on my bow, took two shots, and while adjusting/moving the peep, gouge my string and wrecked it.[&o] I am a little pissed about that. Anyone got any comments on my boneheaded play?

Sorry man... I was afraid of doing the same thing last night; I was putting new center serving on, and my little splitter tool didn't want to go into the string very easily. It was added hassle, but I put it on my press to put some slack into the string before splitting it to start the serving.

RE: So I wrecked my new string
Yeah I knew as soon as I had gouged the string that it was a no go on any further shooting. I wanted to move the peep as it had been put in way off and wanted to bring it down. I had been shown, by a guy at Sportsmans Warehouse, how to move the serving and peep, by using the flat handle part of a medical bandage scissors. 
Seemed to make sense to me after he demosntrated it. I initially got it to move without a problem, but in trying to get it to move a little farther, I gouged it. Yes I can say that I was stupid. I am still very much a newby when it comes to bows, so should have taken more care. I guess the cost of another string will have to teach me a lesson. [&o]

RE: So I wrecked my new string
Ive heard shady things about SW. I cant believe they told you to use a SCISSOR to spread your strands for a peep. They should have just sold you the tool, which is cheap.
Really stinks to hear about that man, but sometimes the most costly lessons are the ones that really stick.
