I agree I would contact Elites customer service and show them the pics.

Is this the common problem with the Elite factory strings? Are people still seeing this with aftermarket strings?

Yeah I know, it sucks cause its shooting so good I hate to mess with it. I hate to even post pics cause I feel like everyone needs to try this bow and I'm possitive Elite is going to hook me up quick. The performance so far is worth the hassel of a string change.

Common problem I have to answer with no. I have had one that needed replaced but thats out of all I sold. which isnt a large number by any means but its not common.
I hear the string builder has made some changes so hopefully this will be less of a issue as time goes on.

My Answer has a set of Baldys strings and around 400 shots with no problems at all. They look as tight as new.

It could also be a reason why they're getting a little behind in their orders...hopefully anyways! I already have a custom string and cable set coming for it just in case!

I put on the Hove strings and now have no issues on my Answer. The peep has also been rock solid. Shoots great and really like the bow now that it it is set up. Would recommend new strings to anyone getting a new one.

Ive sent messages to Baldy and Elite today, so one way or the other she should be all fixed up soon!

I actually was a guinea pig for that string maker when he was starting out..I honestly can say I was impressed with them,and can only assume he has gotten even better in the 3 or 4 years since then...

I had the same problem. The factory strings end loops are served with bow string. When you tune your bow by removing,twisting and re-installing your cables you are taking the tension off the end loops and then replacing the tension on them, this causes the bow string-serving to get a little loose, then eventually fray. Once your bow is tuned leave it alone. It is cosmetic and should be fine. If it bothers you make sure your next set of strings you get some where the end loops are served with something like the 0.007 HALO and you problems will be solved.
