54" actual string length .
Brace height of 8" would be a good place to start . And adjust up or down from there .
Depending on how old it is , you might want B-50 or B-55 string .

Hey Mike, That is a great bow! Enjoy it. I find they like about an 8-8 1/4 inch brace..

Anybody know the year it was made?

My choice would be a Flemish, 14 strand Dacron B-55 string 54-54.5". Probably end up real close to an 8.25" brace height.

Mcground On my above post I meant to say 53.5-54". 54.5" would be too long.

Thanks for the follow-up...

Your going to like that bow........Grizzly's are a favorite of mine. I have a hand me down from a great Uncle of my mother. Just a good old bow that is fun to shoot and even more fun to hunt with. You'll like it to still hunt your best spots.

Not A Bad Idea Ron!

Yes, they are great shooting bows. I have three in lefty. My first trad deer was with one I bought new-old-stock back in '81.

Looks like the "Widow" is going to be collecting dust, Brother Waysiah.....

Great bows, and each one seems to have its own personality. I had one that wouldn't settle down until I hit 9" of brace height on it -- and once I got it there is was a sweet shooter for sure.

Follow-Up:

Got a string from fellow Trad Gang member "kat" yesterday and shot her in the driveway... All I can say is WOW! This puppy LOVES woodies...

Thanks again to everyone for your input... Gonna have a lot of fun with this (old) girl... :D ...

They are great bows.......good grip and feels like it just belongs in your hand taking a walk in the woods. A couple of wool puffs and it will just be a whisper. Have fun.......
