I am proud owner of HEX5-H Mark II 38# 70" limbs since May 28. Today I raced the last competition using my prior common limbs. Subsequently, I start to set the Borders up on my Helix

riser.

I bought 8125 string, 16 strands, 67.5" long with twists (67" recommended by riser's manufacturer), and I had to add 20x 360 degrees (I am sorry, I do not know if twist is 180 degrees or 360 degrees, so I use degrees) to get some acceptable BH. There are actual parameters:

string: 360 degrees on every 3cm, not curly, but near
pockets: mostly loosened (perhaps 360 degrees to allowed minimum)
BH: 8 1/4" (8 3/4 - 9 1/2 recommended by manufacturer)
tiller: 1/8", can be set from 0 to 3/8" (as recommended by manuf.)

I am afraid of string is too long. Is it wise to work on basic setup with such string? Is not it too much twisted? I would like to tune BH (but cannot add nothing), tiller, nocking point and button this weekend, to try luckily borrowed ACE

shafts, if their stiffness is optimal...
