No!
In picture number 3. The important thing is the tip deflection of the bow. (NOT the string position)
When the tips come back 6", then fit a short string.
See new picture...
Also long string should be only just long enough to get on the bow... not like in your picture.

I see. A picture is worth a thousand words! you are always an encyclopedia!

I think your doing a great job so far. If I had to tiller critique, I would say the outer tips of your bow are still a bit stiff, and you might wanna get those bending a bit more. Still good job.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

- Tao Te Ching, 77, A new translation by Victor H. Mair
