Anyone know what the actual sting length for a static recurve would be, like the old Grizzly and Kodiaks from the 50's.
Thanks!

4" Shorter than length of bow is a good start.

If it were me , I would string it up with poly cord and adjust until I have a starting brace then make a real string.to that measurement.Static tips can be deceiving.....
