OK I need help. I have a brand new Dakota pro hunter recurve that the string jumps off the limbs after the shot. Not any pattern to it. might be after 30 shots or 2. I am not a novice or ignorant about bows, its not a brace height issue or string loop issue but I have never seen this before. could it be traveling to far past resting bh after the shot and why. It is 38 @ 28 and I am drawing to 29. Suggestions. I do not want to blow up the limbs
Your brace height is way too low or the limbs are twisted.
My guess is twisted limb . Had that problem with a Hoyt Pro Medalist years ago .
yup whichever loop is coming off that's the twisted limb and my guess its the bottom limb from step thru stringing.
Draw the bow and let down slowly and see if string lines up in center of limb. If not, there is your problem.
My grandson was having The same problem with a bow. There was no limb twist, string loops were fine. Brace height had come down a bit from stretch but that should not, in itself, cause the problem.
The only thing left was the string nocks. After filing them deeper it was problem solved!

"Brand new"? What does the bowyer say?
I'm with Roger. The first person I would have talked with is the bowyer. I would send it back for him to check/shoot it and see what's going on.
Had that happen on a longbow I built. Filed the string grooves deeper and it never happened again.
I had that problem also it turned out to be the snap nocks on my arrows were to tight opened them up with a small jewelers file and it solved the problem.
