Yes, from what I've been told.  The string should be 4" shorter than the bow on a recurve and 3" for a longbow.

Or...

Get a real good one through one of TG sponsors

Excellent workmanship and ... cheaper than 3R.

Hmm...I thought 3Rivers was a sponsor.
You are on the right track, though. B-50 and about 4" shorter than the AMO length of the bow.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
