Amo Recurve
I have a kinda old 54" bow. What size string do I get?
I've seen all this stuff about AMO length, but its always talking about recurve. If I go 4 inches smaller It really would not look or feel right. I think 2 inches at most. This bow does not have a brand, it looks hand made.
Your right, you should make your string 2 inches shorter than the bow. I gather this because you said it looks handmade. So, you need a 52" string. If it is handmade, and hasn't been cared for then you will need to be really careful for the first few times pulling the string back. I imagine since it isn't a recurve, then it is in fact a long bow. Make sure you wax the string, and put some animal fat on the bow itself. I always hunt with a recurve, because well, I like bowhunting better than gun hunting, and my season is much longer than gun hunting and I can go where gun hunters aren't allowed, only bow. If you have a pic I might be able to tell you more about it.
