what if you are left handed, should it be a string's width off to the left?
That's what I'm wondering. His comment about them being off to the right on a right hand bow leads me to believe they would be the opposite for a left hand bow, but who knows. Did you take yours off?

I think after what I have read, that there is a slim chance of the short stop staying on my bow if I have anything to do with it.

Your Suppressor is enroute

I am assuming here and I know that can get me into trouble, but I would assume on a left handed bow it would the opposite

sounds good Dan, can't wait to get it. Still waiting on the spec order viper and other acc though. I am happy to report that the mean v I had on my commander was a major selling point. THanks for a great product.
As for the string position, I am gonna to ask my personal consultant, Rob, whenever I track him down.

I just talked to Rob on the phone, he says that the Left handed models should, as you hold it like you would shoot it, be a string length to the right of the center of the V in the short stop. and the RH models should be opposite. He says that as the bow is shot the string travel will take it to the center if it is set up like this. Meaning, that if you lined it up in the center before the shot, when you shoot, it will end up off to the left in the short stop.

This is correct; that's what happens when I go from memory on not much sleep without walking into my own shop and looking at my own.

Greg, why is it just the airbornes? I am curious.
Because that's what the head of our R&D department and the man who designed the bows told me. [8D]
