I recently picked up an old "Firestone" 45# Lemonwood longbow, and I'd like to get a spare string or two for it.

There's nothing written on the bow itself except for the draw weight.

How do I measure the length of the string? (measure from the center of the loops, end of the loops or the beginning of the loops?)

I hope that I'm being clear enough with the question...

Thanx in advance for any clarification on this!
