    I bought a used bow with a new string. I shot it about 60 times and i noticed the molyphiliment type reserve is sliding up the string where the lobe of the cam is. The string and the reserve are not broke or frayed, just spreading. Is this normal. Single cam pse

    This happens often enough. Keep an eye on it, but as long as none of the strands are busted or frayed, you should be fine.

    Thanks for the info, ill keep an eye on it if it shows anymore sign of wear ill get it restrung. Also i should have used the correct term "serving" rather than reserve. Any way still learning, again thanks.

    If the string is not that old you can have it re-served. Stretched and served again it should give you some more life without spending too much money.
