Received a new 12 strand 2 bundle B500 string the other day. How much should I expect this to stretch before settling in? Thanks.

Depends on who made it and if they pre-stretched the string. You can take most of the creep out of that string in a minute with it on the bow if you're careful

I like to twist them up about an inch past Brace and let the bow stay braced for a day, that gets most of the stretch out.

wow perfect timing. i have a string that wont quit stretching. been on the bow over a week and every day I set the brace height at least a 1/4 inch some times more. Is this string safe to shoot?
