Flemish Twist set up

I have a self bow that is 65ntn. Want to make a 62 bow string. Confused about where to set the distance peg on the jig. Should it be 65 or 62?

My jig is set up so the numbers represent the n/n distance not the string length. That being said you can tweak it's length a bit by adjusting where you start your knot.

I think it depends on the jig you use.

I've never used a jig; I just do them by hand. Maybe a jig is better and I'm really missing out, but this method works great for me:

Thanks for the comments. Buckskinner how did you set up the jig. I copied the 2x4 plan that was posted on this site.
