Hi all,

Well I'm planning to sit down and make a few spare stings for my bows, that being Blackwidow LB's and T/D recurves.

All I'm after is if I've measured my bow with a tape and it comes to 63" do I use that measurement? The bow is a 64" Longbow too if that helps. And is that the same for Recurves too?

I've made strings before on my old jig but that one was broken and I made a new one using the plans out of TJ's book from TBM.

Thanks for looking,

Should be a 61" actual length string for the LB if it is marked 64" AMO.

What will it be if it's a 60" AMO recurve than?

If it is true AMO it should be 57". All AMO strings are 3" less than the marked length whether it is a LB or RC.
