[QUOTE="WildWillie, post: 548493, member: 29658"] I do not plan on grinding anything on my xbow. After removing the upper and inspecting everything, I tried cranking the string with some tension on it. As infantrysold mentioned, the problem is when the string starts spooling it piles up on itself. At some point the string finally slips to the side and that is where you get your "jump" from. If you've ever fished offshore with some of the big reels you have to help guide the string as it is being wound on or else it piles up on one part of the reel. Same thing with the xbow. The string is piling up, but under the tension at some point it slips off the pile and that is where it jumps. After putting everything back together I was able to test by guiding the string as I cocked the xbow and the problem went away. If I do not guide it the problem returns. After shooting at paper, I noticed I was getting a tear to the bottom. Adjusted the rest and have taken most of the tear out. WildWillie [/QUOTE]
