I was making an endless loop for my recurve tonight and I got to wondering what string length and # of twists everyone else was using for their bow. For my 66" bow I've been making 62.5" strings and twisting them up, probly more than I should, to get a 8.5" brace height. Since I can't stop tinkering and I got some extra time on my hands nowadays I thought I'd make a few different strings (different strand count, length, material) and try them out.
I'm curious to see what you guys are doing. What string length, bow length, and brace height do you guys have?
BTW, I freakin forgot I was using 8125 instead of D97 tonight and it wasn't till I was finished with the first loop that I noticed the string was too thin. That was about as annoying as another time when I noticed that I was using Halo for my end loop. Oh the joys of making strings...
