Did you get (and keep) any kind of owner's manual or info. with the bow?

AMO/ATA says it should get a string 3" shorter than the AMO bow length, but that's not set it stone.

measure from the top string grove to the bottom string grove, not all bows measure to whats printed on the riser, subtract 4inches and that will be your string length...ie a 60inch bow should have a 56 inch string,
