Thank you, reckon i will put a 7" servin on it

I like about 7" with 2½" above the nocking point and 4½" below it. I also like the top loop big enough to go over the top limb when the bow is not strung.
I make the string and put it on the bow before serving it, though. Then all I need to do is snap a square on the string to fine the nocking point.
If you don't have the bow in hand, maybe he could get the measurements off an old string for you.

Don't know if they are proportionate or whatever.

My recurve takes a 60" string (64" bow).

The serving is 8" - 2" above the nock.

I just make sure to serve the string down to the bottom of the grip. Protects the string against arm slap. I'm obviously a noob but thought it was good advice and works well for me.
