You can order a 60 inch AMO string for it. It would be better to measure the old string off the bow, but i'm assuming you don't have one to measure and that's why you are asking.  Maybe some owners of a Pittsley will chime in if it is any different. It should come in about 57 inches.

I believe the one I have on the bow now was 58", but that's the problem. I have to twist it quite often to keep my brace height correct. I seem to have a lot of twist per inch and I think thats my creeping problem?

You need to get a new string.With a string with a lot of twists per inch it will act like a coil spring even if it is a low stretch type string.JMO

I don't know about the Predator but most recurve strings would be 4" less than the AMO length or 56" in your case.

Ask the bowyer.  AMO says 3" shorter, longbow or recurve, but a lot of bows don't go by AMO specs.

I just bought one for mine and I ordered a 57" actual length string after talking to Huntersniche(Predator Bows). It is perfect for my 60" Predator.

I ordered one that was 57" this past fall and by the end of the season, it had a lot of twists to it.  So, I ordered a 56" one recently and it seems to fit better so far.  I think some of it depends on the person making the string.
