Hey guys so my gramps gave me his long bow for my birthday, but it didn't have a string. Any help on how to find out what size string i need to get for it? trying to get it ready for spring turkey. Thanks in advance!

It should be stamped on the riser. If not then get help with a friend , one to measure and one to put pressure on it, protecting the tips with a rag and compress till you get a 7" fistmele , unless you have access to a bow press.

An essential part of keeping a bow maintained – no matter what style you shoot: recurve, compound, traditional… – is waxing the string (and cables), yet many archers neglect it.
