Well, first, we need to know the bow length, measured along the back from nock to nock. I kilt my first deer with a Pearson, back when they were what you bought when you couldn't afford a Bear. Wish I still had it.

Is it shaped like the one at the bottom here?

If it is, you need a 58" string. I have a soft spot for those bows. I got one 36 years ago. What is the poundage of yours?
