New cable/string, sights way different

[goldscud]

I had my stretched cable/string replaced this week and went out to sight in the new set-up this morning. I had to move my 20yd pin down about 1.25" from where it used to be. Pretty shocking difference. Does this mean my draw weight has been significantly lowered? It felt a little easier to pull, but not much. I guess I need to go back to the shop and get the draw weight checked. I don't have room for more than 2 pins in the sight window now.

Is the nock point in correct place ?

It will take a couple of hundred shots to set the new string and cable. Once you have broken them in, re-tune your bow as the timing may need to be adjusted, and the nock point may need to be adjusted as well. The draw weight can then be adjusted to suit and not change very much after that. Once this is done you should be set for the lifetime of the new string and cable.

Nock looks good. Arrows flying pretty well. Just surprising how much I had to move my pins. It looks like I have to take my site guard off and move it so I can get more than 2 pins in the view now. I've always had my 55-70lb bow set right at top weight. I'll have to get weight checked. Thanks for your views Norm.

..once strings are .."settled" a bow hase t be RE-tuned to specs...that can meaN A 5 # less poundage..even if bow specs are in what most think is perfect...we can take twists to cable an string to keeps specs in perfect but raise poundage to spec or beyond...
my advise is take it to a pro shop for true tune..both spec and to the shooter

If your peep is a 1/4 inch lower in the new string that could result in the lower POI. I shoot a very low peep and my Spot Hogg is in the lowest position possible on the bracket but I have enough room to properly space my five pins. Good Luck
