outpostdave,

If making a flemish twist I would make a 64 1/4" string for a 66" Kodiak Special and adjust it up or down from there.

Jack, Thanks for the information. I know that if I take a string off of one of my later model 66" recurves, It's way to short. Thanks again.

Dave,

I stand corrected. I meant 62 1/4". I just measured a 66" '59 KS and it has a 62" string. The only '58 I have is 64" and it has a 60 1/4 inch string.
