RE: twists in cable and string
Hey guys,
If you shorten the string, you get a shorter draw and lighter poundage. If you lengthen your string, yopu get more draw length and more poundage.
If you shorten your cables, you get slightly more draw and more poundage and vice versa.

RE: twists in cable and string
Thundermug-
I would have to disagree with what you were told about twisting strings. Twisting a string or cable helps more evenly distribute the force applied more evenly throughout the string. If there were no twists, the outer and inner strands get most of the abuse shot after shot.
By twisting, the force is distributed to more strands more evenly. Some string makers have mentioned that you can go up to 1 twist per inch of string- that is if you have a 50" string you can put up to 50 twists in it with no trouble.
