This isn't just to eliminate string slap, it is also to prevent torking the bow. I'm by no means a professional archer but I was taught by one of the top archers in the country.
Giffford, do you shoot with a release aid and string loop? If you do, you can adjust some small increments into your draw length by making your loop a bit longer or your release aid, if it is adjustable, a bit longer.
no harm, but if you read what I said, I said ALMOST locked,
leaving some room?
I been in archery a LONG time and shot with a lot of pro's over the yrs as well
but shooter form is a big part of being a good consistent shot with a bow, and the facts are , short brace height bows are harder for shooters to master,a s small errors in form show up faster!
odds are again, the OP< would be better off learning form , or a bow they can master better, than twisting strings and such to Micro tune
as what happens when they go and replace strings, a rather normal wear and tear item. every time they will be twisting and trying to get things back
they can learn to HAVE a custom string made to there SET size, which is NOT a big deal for a shop to do, as most all shops MAKE there own strings these days
but they will be off spec if the maker looks up size
I was just giving other options/idea's and thoughts
