String Length & brace Height?

[LBR]

Depends...if the string is measured correctly according to AMO specs, 58" will likely be short or at least on the high side of the brace (no room for adjustment).  This is based on my currently owning at least one Sage and setting up several more (not just making the string, actually setting the bow up to shoot).

Brace height can vary depending on the individual, but there's a range to stay in so you don't damage the bow/stay within the warranty.

You are asking good questions, and doing your homework.  Unfortunately opinions and experiences can vary.

Generally a custom string maker will guarantee their work, i.e. if I tell you a 58.5" string is the right string and you determine you need it longer or shorter, I'll replace it at no charge.  Both endless and Flemish can be adjusted some with a few twists, but you don't want to add or remove an excessive amount.

Order 2, 1 of each length.
From the same maker!

New Question but Still about Strings:

Just started reading a book "The Traditional Archer's Handbook" by Hilary Greenland 4th ed. pub. 2004 and in the chapter on strings page 52 it is mentioned using Dacron B50 and gave a chart on bow poundage to number of strands in the string, stating to many strands for a particular bow can damage the bow.

CHART for Dacron B50:

20 to 30 lbs 10 strands
30 to 45 lbs 12 strands
45 to 60 lbs 14 strands

My current strings which I believe are Dacron (the packages do not state what the material is) and are 16 strands and that is for a 35#; 40# & 50# bows.

According to the book you can damage the bow over time using the wrong string.

What is the opinion of everyone on this forum
and how do I verify this for various types of string material?

Never heard of any such.  When I made strings for stores and bowyers, they bought "one size fits all" strings.  If you order a bow, especially a cheap one, you'll get the same string with a 20# bow as you'll get with a 65#.

You are doing the right thing by doing your homework.  Just because it's in a book doesn't make it so.  I know of at least a couple that have a lot of junk "information", especially pertaining to strings.

Polyester (Dacron) will have a minimum strand count, due to a lack of durability and a lot of elasticity.  Manufacturers have a recommended minimum strand count for other materials, but using more won't damage the bow.
