string length help
hey everyone,
I just got my Ben Pearson mach1 recurve, it's 52"AMO, 45# @28", the bow never came with a string which I knew before I bought it but now I need to get my hands on one. I know if I order a string I just need to ask the guy for a string for this bow BUT..... my local shop here just got a bunch of older stock in and he has some strings for recurves but to be honest I don't trust this guy to sell me exactly what I need because he sold me arrows before that were over splined for my compound so I don't trust him now. He says I would need a string about 4" shorter than my AMO is this correct??? if so I would need a 48" string?
some help here would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance
