A tip I picked up from my friend when changing the string was to pound a couple of nails side by side, put the old string on one and the new on the other and stretch them out, then you have a real good starting point for nock point & peep placement. It puts them real close to dead on, so much so that when I put WC on my Grizzly no adjustments were needed.

SL - don't twist or untwist the string They set the length to the specs you gave 'em. If the specs on the bow are wrong well ... then I guess the string length is wrong too. Being as this is a single cam I think everything will fall into place for you. I also do not expect any tuning issues at 100 shots. the first 5 may show some peep rotation ... but I doubt it. After a 1000 maybe you'll get some stretch but even then it's honestly doubtfull. One thing with single cams: when you put the string on don't allow it to twist/untwist so that the back half of the string(or front) is excessivly twisted while the other side is less twisted. When you draw in this scenario the twists will untwist as they go around the idler and your peep will then rotate.
