I agree with Bisch, it looks like you have it strung backwards. In this picture, it appears the tape measure is placed on the back side of the bow. The bow should be strung with the string on the side opposite of where the tape is. The tips bending away from the archer when the bow is unstrung is known as backset.

Brian, if you will examine the string grooves, they will tell you the truth.
On their back side they are higher, and wider than on the belly side.
That tracking of the grooves serves three purposes:
(1) - The width of the back side of the grooves, spreads the pressure point of the loops out across a larger area, thus aiding in the structural integrity of the tips.
(2) The lower outlet of the grooves on the belly side reduces the amount of bend in the loops, thus aiding in the structural integrity of the loop itself.
(3) The narrower outlet of the grooves on the belly side allows them to constrict/narrow for a better grip on the tip.

Well Ill be a monkeys uncle! I reckon Im having major a FNG moment.
Thanks for the pic and diagram Rick. Holding the bow, the grip seems backwards...prolly another FNG moment.
I really appreciate the persistence of this support group to illustrate my ignorance. Oh well, I reckon Ill be all the better for it.

Ignorance is a daily occurrence for me.
There's no shame in it, unless you don't try to learn when the opportunity is presented.
