Need more info on it? Who made it,is it a straight limbed bow,R/D? If it is a straight limb bow I would try around 6&1/2 and tune from there.

Bentley, if it has Dacron string it should be around 7". If it has a skinny low-stretch string, about 6 1/8-6 1/4. I've had several of Dan's longbows, including three of the Bamboo Longhunters. Those measurements are off the back of the shelf (belly side), not from the grip.
