1. Pull the tape straight out of its case with one hand.
2. Note the markings on the tape. Each mark indicates a 1/16-inch increment. There is usually an arrow indicator at 16-inch increments to show the typical distance between wall studs. The diamonds are for marking joists and studs at points one-fifth of 8 feet.
3. Look at the back of the tape. Some manufacturers include lumber tables or other useful information.
4. Line up the 1-inch mark with one end of the object being measured. Sometimes the metal hook becomes loose and can cause your measurement to be off by up to 1/16 of an inch. Be sure to deduct 1 inch from the measurement.
5. Slide the thumb lock down to hold the tape in place. Not all tapes have this feature and newer ones have an automatic lock with a hold release instead.
Be careful not to cut yourself when recalling the tape. Its sides are dull but they can still cut.
Don't pull the tape out past the allowable length or you may not be able to return it to its case.
I'm really sorry, but I just couldn't resist. [;)]
Oh yeah, I'm dumb when it comes to recurves so I do hope someone else can answer your question.
