Tiller string to Regular string

What are you looking for when you switch from the tiller string to the regular string?

If the limbs are bending pretty evenly and it looks like I can bring it close to brace height I switch right then. Everyone says the long string lies and I hate liers so I get rid of it as soon as I can. I haven't had one lie to me yet but they are never around long enough to get the chance.

Once I get a bow to brace height I make a new string just for it.

If it is within 10# of weight and bending well to 16" or so, I brace it.  But my tiller string is adjustable so I shorten along hte way stating with 2" or so in brace and then moving an inch or so at a time.

I look for good bending of the limbs and target weight at 10 inches of string movement. Then I brave it. More on my site. Jawge
