How to Calculate Bow String Length?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Bow String Length.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the total bow length (in).
   • The total bow length (in) is given as: 30.
2. Finally, calculate the Bow String Length using the equation above: 

BSL = BL – 4

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

BSL = 30 – 4 = 26 (in)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total bow length (in) = 40

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..

BSL = BL – 4 = ?
