shooting short recurves

[matt61]

Can anybody give me some tips on shooting short T/D recurves,I have found that they seem to shoot better with a thick string ie sixteen strands or more.I have three 52" bows,two Cascades and a Bighorn,they are beautiful bows and I love shooting them.

I also have a short recurve 52 inch and also found the bow shot much better with a 16 strand bow string. It also seemed to be some reduced hand shock and no noise at all...
