I finally found a site to clear up the myth that AMO string length for recurves is 4" shorter than the AMO bow length.

For several years that's what I heard, and believed it, because I hadn't seen anything to show me otherwise. It wasn't that long ago a friend that goes by "Broker" straightened me out. Since then, I've posted the correction, but it never seemed to sink in.

It doesn't really mean much, since there are bows that aren't made to AMO specs, and sometimes shooter preferance doesn't go along with what AMO says. I just wanted to clear the air on this subject.
