*UPDATE*!String not parallel with rail mark for brace height

[coolhl]

after about 200 shots on my micro I turned my string around and noticed that my string is no longer parallel with the mark on the rail and the string is noticeably closer to one string stop than the other. I changed to a new string and same thing. I am new to this so suggestions are appreciated.




UPDATE!!!
turned the string around again: tiller still off 3 to 4 mm...noticeable to naked eye...annoys the OCD part of me...

so I take out my Caldwell fieldpod and shot one arrow with the Micro at 30 yds...2 clicks high....adjust....next two shots in the black thru the same hole! took out my
foam target and shot my G5 broadhead twice both in the black at 30 yds...
for a newbie nimrod like me the performance of the Micro never ceases to amaze me. I will talk to Danny tomorrow but I am so relieved....thanks, norm

How bad out of Tiller is it? If'en its jus a 16 th" or so no biggy. Now flip yer sting back n ck it

Hmmm.....

[coolhl]

4 mm difference from string to stopper....one is 4mm and the other 8 mm

Both limb bolts good n tight? Thats abit too much Tiller bein off. Riser sq. with the rail? Riser rail screws tight?

Check that the string stops are seated correctly in the riser first! They are held in with set screws, then make sure the rubber bumpers are pressed all the way down on the posts. Do all the simple stuff first, then start checking all the hardware for being tight, etc. Do not strip heads when tightening!!

Measure both rubber bumpers as well.
Easy to check just place beside each other on flat surface.
I measured everything when I seen a similar issue two years ago on a new equinox.
Every measurement I did showed no difference was just about to call Customer Service when I thought about measuring the rubber bumpers. Well found a difference of 1/ 8 " between them. Installed new set all good.

everything was nice and tight. I took the riser off and reattached it...put a third string on,,,still 3 1/2 mmoff...took the rubber stops off the stems...string is not equidistant from the ends of the stems that the rubber stoppers slide over...off by 3 1/2 mm.stems measured and equal..in fact i rotated the stems to the opposite side and still a 3 1/2 mm mismatch from one side to the other of the string to the stem.....I will take photos and post later....I never noticed this before....I hope a limb or tip is not twisted....

OK, dumb question maybe. Do you have the rail seated properly? Loosen it up just enough to wiggle it. There is a slight groove, and very easy to not set. If that is off just a bit, it will reek havoc. You will feel it grab if it is snug, or close to snug. You might be able to see it too.

I mean riser to rail here.

Unstring the bow and loosen the limbs in the pockets and make sure they are seated correctly. Retighten and restring them and check tiller again. Might solve your problem.

[racking up points]

Do all of the above. You can flip limbs from left-right and if the tiller issue migrates to the other side, you've found the culprit and you should send the limbs in for warranty replacement. As stated, it won't cause huge accuracy issues, but it will impact BH flight at extended ranges.

I took it off and put it back on ...it was snug...still 3mm off
