Default strand requirements for dyna 97?

What would be the minimum amount of strands of dyna 97 I could use on a 60# recurve.Would a 12 strand string padded to 15 on the loops be ok?

12 strands is plenty strong. Dyna '97 is 125# test per strand--I've used a 12 strand on 70+# bows. I prefer 14 or 15, just because it seems to be a bit quieter and works out best to fit my nocks. You can go with a good bit less--Shrew bows come with a 6 strand 450+ (450+ is 155# test per strand), but I don't see any real advantage to using a tiny string.

LOL good to hear I was watching tv when i made this string and somehow I ended up with 12 strands instead of the 15 I thought I had. Looks pretty sharp and the nocks fit perfect black,red and white looks good together.
