Title: 62" Don Dow String Length
Post by: BenM on February 23, 2013, 01:56:00 PM
I'm looking to upgrade the stock B50 string to a Oliverstacy 12 strand D10.  Does anyone know their FF string length for a 62" bow?  The actual string length for the B50 is 58".
Thanks
Ben

Benny, I have a 60" Dow bow and it takes a fifty seven and one half inch dyna-flight 10 string.  Denny Sturgis Sr

For what it's worth, here's something I never ran into before. I just ordered an SBD string for my 62" RER Vital static tip. I really like those 8-strand D-10 strings and Pierre's yarn wrap on the recurve strings helps keep things super quiet. On that static tip, however, the extra padding uses up a bit of length. Lowest brace height I can reach is still 1/2" higher than I like. Next time I order the recurve padding, I'll add an extra 1/2" to the actual string length.
