string stop movement

[twelvepoint]

Hey all,
Has anyone had the string stop move off center constantly and move forward,this is only the rubber pc.that is moving not the rod.Im constantly moving the rubber pc. back to correct position shot after shot.Bow shop said put caulk in it to hold but Im not sure about doing that.Any help or quick fix would be appreciated.
Thanks

Might be worn out, how many shots on it? I've worn them out before on my pulse. If not worn out a little silicone won't hurt, put it on the rod itself them put the rubber stop back on.

Why not pull the rod out a little?

This should not happen. Make sure the stop is centered when tightened. Make sure it is not touching the string. The string can go past the stopper and hit it on rebound moving it. Make sure the rubber stopper is pushed all the way down on the rod, make sure. Often it seems it is but is not. If the stopper is moving and he cable is not then you do not have it pushed all the way down. If the cable rod is moving make sure there is about a credit cards width distance from string at brace and that the set screw is tightened securely. Most have two screws and often one gets lost and only one is used. Make sure both are there and that the cable rod is long enough so that both set screws contact the rod when tightening.

Another thing, the stopper cannot possibly move off center if the cable rod does not move unless you have an egg shaped stopper. Think a minute. How can a round stopper get off center by rotating? Push the stopper all the way down and then adjust the rod to get the stopper where you want it.

PS - find another archery shop, Putting caulk in is stupid.

bfoot is right on with his explanation.

The new stopper from Elite is v shaped and can turn so its not inline with the string. Wrap a little tape around the rod and slide the rubber back on. My bet is its broken in the round hole and not fitting tight anymore.
I would just replace it my self.
