Contact one of the great string builders that are sponsors here. You can find them in the sponsors listings or sponsors classified. They will help you get set up.
Sam,

If you have a string, measure it's length. If not a 60in bow should take a 57in string.
its a recuve not a longbow i was told recurves need a 4 inch shorter sting than ammo 60 wich would be 56
