Default String Stretch?

I put my new #2097 Superstring on my Vortex this morning. I twisted the crap out of it. It was outside the marks on the riser. Now it's just on the inside of the mark closest to me while Im holding the bow. How much will this type of string stretch? I believe it's Dacron. I would like to shoot later today but I've heard some people let it sit overnight to stretch before shooting or making any adjustments. Any thoughts? Thanks.

The Dacron strings will stretch for a while. Just keep shooting it, much faster than leaving it ****ed O/N. I pre-stretch my strings when I make or reserve them, stretch much less.
