Another thing that will help with consistancy of bridle lengths is to prestretch the Bridle Line. An easy way to do this is to fly a largish kite (for the line strength) on the Bridle Line. Leave the kite up for a few hours and this will stretch the line out evenly.

The other thing to do is to appy even tension when you stretch the line out to mark it. I sometimes use a fishing weight that weighs a few ounces or sometimes I just dangle the line, ie, very little tension.
