[QUOTE="WildWillie, post: 560037, member: 29658"] Just wanted to give another update on the "string jump". The string jump is 99% of the time caused by the string not spooling up evenly on the spool. After about 100 shots with perfect cocking, mine started "jumping" again. This is twice it has happened since I received a new upper about 2 months ago. Both times I found that the pin that secures the gear on the winding shaft has shifted so it is sticking out on one side or the other. There is a set screw that holds that pin in place and the set screw was loose. Once I slid the pin back so it is centered and tightened the set screw the "jumping" goes away. It seems that the pin sticking out was catching the string and at some point the string would finally slip past causing the string to jump. Next time I'm using a little loc-tite on the set screw.
