Chuck, I think there's something in that post I'm not getting. Lower velocity does not necessarily mean longer string. In fact, if you add too much velocity, it can actually result in longer string caused by a higher percentage of damaged pellets. Certainly, on long crossing targets, lower velocity can require more forward allowance. But that doesn't have anything to do with string.
