Mine uses a 61 inch string from Chad @ recurves.com.

[George D. Stout]

Measure it from string nock to string nock across the belly, then get a string 3 inches shorter than that and twist to brace.  Pretty simple and applies to all bows.

[cacciatore]

Usually 3 inches with the longbows.4 " with the recurve.

[George D. Stout]

cacciatore, I use 3" even with recurves.  The 4" can cause a string to be too short for some recurves and doesn't work alot of times.  With 3" you can always twist to shorten more, and I find tighter twist make better strings for me.

The AMO was changed, by the way, in the mid 1980's to 3" for either.

My 64" ACS used a 61" string.
