Brace height on an old wing.

I have an old wing recurve. It’s 48.5” long from tip to tip.

I had it strung with a string the shop said was the right length but when I shoot it there is a reallllly loud slap as the string hits the limb.

Most of my recent experience is with a compound but I don’t remember my past recurves being so loud.

I’m assuming the issue is that my brace height is too short. It’s just about 7”.

Thoughts? Let me know if you need pics.

Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...
