I put together a string board from designs off of stickbow webpage. I know how to make the loops, but have trouble getting the correct length desired. Figured I will have to play with that. But thats a different story.

Question is, how long should I make the loop for top and bottom? I like bottom to be small loop of course.

The instructions say on the webpage to take 7" from tip of the two bundles and twist enough to slide down the bow 5". I see some guys on thier string boards have marks for how long to make thier loops. Some twist up 3" for top, but that makes a large loop.

Is this something I am going to have to experiment with or is there guidelines for bottom and top?
