The old adage for string length is: - 4" for recurve & - 3" for longbow depending on length of bow from string grove to string grove. That was established from years of use with Dacron strings. What formula would be good you think using the new string materials that don't stretch near as much? I made a string a tad short with TS+ the other day that I wouldn't have worried about stretching enough if I'd used B55, all I've ever used up until now, a Dacron material.

It is a trial and error thing every time I try a new material. When I get it figured out I write it on the back of my jig for future use.
