[QUOTE="Buzzard Bait, post: 601788, member: 25989"] [b]Re: Lose the Biscuit and Improve Your TAC15/15I Shooting Performance - By Russell Bea[/b] Hi Jon and bryanvin, My slow response time is due to the fact I'm still hunting since our deer season doesn't end until the last day of January. bryanvin if you look closely at the photos of the top and bottom views of my timing cord serving you will see I served on both sides of the bend of the timing cord. I had the same problem with things slipping or sliding around the cable you described. My solution (be sure you mark the cable where the timing cord needs to go) was to cut about a 6" length of serving cord (I used some old Fast Flight serving, it is small in diameter) and make a loop 3" long. Lay this loop and the tail of the serving cord (I used a four feet length of the Fast Flight serving cord) along the cable. Leave several inches of the serving cord tail end free (i.e. out past the loop). Fasten the loop and tail of the serving cord to the cable with several half hitches as tight as you can pull them. Put the free end of the serving cord tail end in the loop and pull it back under the half hitches you just made. This should lock the serving cord in place on the cable and allow you to lay the timing cord along the cable and serve it in place without timing cord rotating around the cable. Instead of just wrapping the serving cord, I used half hitches on both sides of the bend (it takes a lot of half hitches and some time). I also used a second loop and pulled the tag end of the serving cord back under several wraps of the finished serving to lock it in place. I shot the bow 10 times to make sure the timing cord wouldn't loosen and then placed a small drop of fingernail polish on the ends of the of the serving cord so it wouldn't unravel. If my directions aren't clear, send me your email in a PM and I'll make a sketch. Regards, Russ [/QUOTE]
