How long should the string be on the Duncan Ripcord. I’m currently using the full stock string but I heard that it is to short out of the box. Is this ok?

They’ve had problems with string length in the past - it should be at least 64" IMO. When it is shorter, the tip will often be pointed away from you on a normal throw. You can compensate by pointing the tip away from you when you throw instead of straight up. How long of a string did you get?

If I measured it correctly I think it came out to about 60" but I could be wrong.
