How’d that string do? Again those bows look awesome.

Just fine, a few twists and shot, a few. More and she's good. Hopefully I got the nocks glued right. I just put super glue on the outer ends against the serving.

That will work. I usually do a dot on the outer edge and cover the entire nock in a light coat of super glue. The coat protects it from wear over time and it will last as long as the string that way. Also just because you glued them doesn’t mean you can change if needed. Work nock back and forth and you can usually break it free again. If you don’t coat the nock it could fray and eventually come off.

Carbon express heritage 250's 28.5" 27" draw. 145 grain point or 50 - 55 cedar same specs. They fly good out of my 47 pound bow. I hope the bow comes 2 or 3 pounds heavier.
