A tillering string is made longer than a finished bowstring....

If I want a 62" string, I go to the 72" peg.  :)

, and then I had to watch a video from a guy named Mick Grewcock on youtube

With a name like that I'm not going to dispute his instructions on correct length.

If string is too long/short for current need, don't discard it. Hang it up for future needs.
