I'm not criticising - I'm in no position to know if this is right or not - but it sounds like the archery equivalent to an endless loop

It depends which number you have written down in your 'little book'. If the string always settles down afer sighters, then record the settled length. Expect the 'just strung height to be a few mm higher, and do the critical check after sighters against the recorded height. If it is different at that point, then restring and adjust to a couple of mm higher than the recorded value to allow for settling.
