A friend of mine has a Ben Pearson recurve that his father in law bought years ago. It has no string and he wants to get one for it. How can I determine what length string to make or purchase for this bow?

Haywire -

Check the markings on the bow, it should say something like AMO XX". You can either order an AMO XX" string or an AMO XX" - 4" actaul length string. Which BP model is it?

Viper1 out.

If it doesn't say that anywhere, if its a longbow just measure groove to groove and subtract 3-4". If its a recurve, measure groove to groove and that should get you pretty close to the actual string length.
