ILF String Length
« on: November 01, 2009, 11:07:00 PM »
What string length to I need for a Morrison ILF B riser with B longbow limbs. I know it makes a 58" bow but what length string do I order and where is a good place to get a quality string.
Thanks.

Call or Email Bob Morrison. Thats the best way to get the right answer for that bow.
 AMO is not 4" shorter. It is 3" for Recurves and longbows.

 Here is what AMO states.
AMO CONVENTIONAL
BOW LENGTH STANDARD

AMO Bow Length Standard is designated to be three inches longer than AMO
Bow String Master that braces bow at proper String or Brace Height. Bow String
Master will carry only the bow length designation. Example: A Bow String
Master designated as AMO 66” (bow length) will have an actual length under
tension of 63”.
Cable length is determined by placing loops over 1/4” diameter steel pins and
stretching under 100 pound load and measuring from outside of pin to outside of
pin. Tolerance is +-1/16”. End loops of cable will be 1 1/4” long and plastic
coated.
Bow String Master shall have the following material specifications or equivalent:
1/16” 7 x 7 galvanized (Mil-C-1511) or stainless (Mil-C-5424) steel aircraft cable
of 480 lb. test.
A Bow String Master Set shall consist of twenty-five Bow String Masters to
measure bow lengths in one inch increments ranging from 48” to 72”; (i.e. actual
string lengths 45” to 69”).
The AMO prefix to bow lengths in inches means that the bow has been manufactured
to a length that properly uses a bow string designated with the identical
AMO marking. (i.e. A bow marked “AMO 60”, 50 lb. will brace to the proper
string height with a string marked “AMO 60”, 45 lb. to 55 lb.)
Share your knowledge and ideas.
