Not sure if this is the right forum, but hopefully someone here will be able to help. I was recently given an old 58", 45#, 28" draw length signal recurve. The bow is in beautiful shape but has no string. I haven't shot a recurve in 15 years, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to get back into traditional archery. Am I correct in thinking that I should look for a 54" dacron string? Now for my original question, does anybody have any idea what the original brace height range was for these bows? I realize I will need to fine tune it for stretch, noise, etc, I'm just looking for a good starting point. Unfortunately, I don't have any traditional shops anywhere near me so I'll have to order everything I need online. Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
