I've just ordered and received a string as a back-up for my 66" bow (SF Forged+)
I set about to get the new string twisted to the correct length to achieve the bracing height and to establish the position of the nocking point.
My existing string has several twists in it and when I lined up the two strings the new one is fully three quarters of an inch shorter - without any twists.
I don't want to attempt to put the new string on the bow as it will certainly increase the bracing height to well above the recommendation.
My existing string is fully 63 + half inches while the new one is 62 + 3 quarters inches.
I'm just back into archery after a 5 year absence and while it may have been the case, I previously never noticed that the actual length is marked on the tube. (It's a 66" string but it is also marked on the tube as 62 and three quarters.)
What ACTUAL length should a 66" string be?
- and is there an 'industry variation' in actual lengths for each given 'official' string length.
("Official" length meaning a string for a 66" bow, or for a 68" bow, etc.)
Hope I've made it clear what I'm asking?
