 :o What is going on anymore,  ;D. If you braced a bow with a string 9" shorter than the bow, the brace height would be, just a guess here, like 20" or something. The string should only be 3" shorter than the bow.

With FF, it should be about 2" shorter, or less.

Stop!
Measure the nock to nock distance (following the curve of any set) on your bow, then measure the length of that sting from loop to loop and tell us what it is.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STRI G IT AGAIN until we know the string is not radically too short as you may well damage your bow.

TheDukesArchers:
I have no clue as to what I'm doing here. The bow measures abut 80 inches, but I'm not sure of the string length. I bought the bow form a Hungarian bowyer for quite a low price, though it does seem decent enough. One end of the string came untied though, so I've had to tie my own loop.

WillS:
Oh dear. Was it the eBay seller who makes "Italian" yew warbows by the bucket load?

Take a pic of the knot you've made in the string, and measure how far the top loop is from the actual horn nock when the string is on the bow, pulled tight but not strung.
