        Just put a Dacron 56″ 16 (recurve) strand string on my 60″ 70# Super Kodiak. On my 3rd arrow the string flew off when I released! I restrung & shot 15 arrows okay. Any ideas as to why my string flew off? Otherwise she shoots great…
        Blessings, Dave

          Maybe the loop wasn’t seated properly? Glad you and the bow are ok. 🙂

            Check to see that you don’t have a twisted limb, be mindful not to torque the string with the drawing hand. I have seen a string jump off due to the bow being canted while the hand at anchor was not causing the limb tips to be pulled out of alignment and the string loop to pop off upon release.
