I posted this in another thread, but didn't get a reply so I'm going to try a new one.

Basically, I just got my DF97 string but it's a 59" string for my 62" recurve (dacron string was 58"). When I ordered it, I asked for a 58" string. When I went to pick it up, it was a 59" string and told me he ordered a 59" on purpose, the following was his reasoning:

The outfitter was saying that dacron stretches more and that when you're using a fast flight material for the string, the length should be 3" shorter than the bow length instead of 4".

Does that sound right or did the guy order the wrong one?

It's on my bow now, but I haven't strung it up to see how it looks/feels. Will 1" longer make a huge difference?

Should I have demanded that he order the correct one?
