first a confession. I didn't shoot my bob sarrels bobcat II recurve for the last 6 months, I pulled it out and went shoot tonight. the string is popping off about every 3rd shot and I don't know why,
any ideas
If you just stood it up in a corner it could have caused the limbs to twist which is about the only reason the string would jump off. I always hang my bows from a peg or nail and not in the heat. Leave it strung for a few weeks or so, that may straighten them some or maybe completely. Good luck
Brace ht should be around 71/2-8". Examine the string for broken strands, though this is unlikely with ff type strings. Slowly draw back a few inches and look or better yet have someone else look to see if the limb tip is starting to twist. If it is a twisted limb these can usually be corrected fairly often on recurves.
If it is a twisted limb, you might slightly twist it in the opposite direction a few times and check it then. If this doesn't work call Bob. I am sure he can help you.
