Seems to always twist at the worst time.

Is that okay?
NO!!! as the string tracks over the radius of the cam some strands are stretching more than others.
Not trying to bash, but if they couldn't figure that part out, I can guarantee the string quality will have you chasing problems with tuning and stretch as long as its on the bow.

Get a set of strings from Tom at Park-N-Sons archery and you will have ZERO twist, nothing, nada, zilch. I've had 3 strings from Tom, they not only look amazing, they do not rotate. My peep is perfectly straight before I draw and at full draw. If you rotate your D-loop to where it straightens your peep once you draw, that is turning the string or torquing it at full draw. Whether or not it affects arrow flight, I dont know but I don't chance it.

Many will flag this as a terrible idea, and yes, expensive one as well, but I'm a big fan of the Anchor Sight. Its a bow mounted "scope like" sight that you mount either below or above your sight pin housing. You set it to you natural anchor point, which shouldn't change in most every situation. Once its set appropriately, you reference it while at full draw, make slight hand torque/anchor point adjustments ensuring you're making the most consistent shot every single time.
I had a constant peep twisting problem after having two sets of tubing snap on me in the field. One time it was old, the other time it was too short and also tied incorrectly. Obviously avoidable, but I decided to eliminate it all together.
My groups tightened up, my shots got much more quite without a doubt, it also allows a very comfortable anchor point you didn't know you needed. It also allows more light in your eye lengthening your effective shooting time. I shoot it with a single pin adjustable HHA and I'm accurate out to 80 yards with zero issues.
Like I said, an expensive option, but its worth the $100 2 or even 3 times over. I'm a believer. I hardly have to check it now, but in in-opportune positions, its wonderful to know I'm not torquing my bow or off in any way. I will smile at responses negatively hating on the design and what it does or does not do for you. I use it, trust it and can't find one thing wrong with the design. Obviously the cost is the only real hurdle for me and many others but that's over now. Consider it an investment. Good luck!

Usually it just takes a 1/2 twist on the string. You will need a press to do it yourself. If take your bow to a shop make sure you shoot it several times after they adjust the string to get it settled and to make sure its right for you. In some cases I take the string off top cam and simply adjust the way the serving lays in the top cam without twisting the string. Every bow and every situation is different. It is a trial and error process to get it perfect but not difficult.

As for the loud and speed proud crowd...save it...the deer always hear it no matter what you do....and y'all know it!Loss of 3-5 fps....with today's bows and the plethora of sound and vibration killing enhancements we have today leaves way ahead of all the bows form 10 years a go now doesn't it. How many deer they pile up?
