Kind of a two-part question here regarding new strings, tuning, and drop-away rests.
I'll be installing new strings and am wondering if I should get the cams synced right away, or after the strings are shot in. My thought is get the cams synced and everything to spec, and then re-check after the strings are broken in. Sound feasible? I picked up a set of hogwire strings, and my understanding is that there is typically very little break in with his strings.
Secondly, I'm seeing some varying opinions on the best way to tie in the cord for a drop-away rest. Some prefer to split the cable and serve above, while others prefer a d-loop with serving above. I'm thinking about trying the latter of the two. How are you tightening the d-loop with only one side attached to the cable? What type of knot is best to serve above the d-loop?
I finally built my own press, so this is all relatively new to me. Detailed pictures might be helpful.
