How do I figure out what bowstring I need for my recurve

[bigbuck150]

I just purchased a pearson recurve at a yard sale. It says 60amo on the handle. I've read conflicting info on the web. Some say to go 3" shorter then amo while others say 4" shorter. I've always gotten my compound strings from 60x custom strings but I'm not sure which of these I need either. www.60xcustomstrings.com/recurve/ Is one of these better then the other? I've heard that dacron is the way to go on older bows. Thanks for any help. Looking forward to trying traditional archery.

Google Barbee archery, I think his site is tradarcher.com. Rick makes all of my strings and they are top notch. Tell him Glenn Posik sent you and he will take good care of you. He makes top notch strings and feel free to call him up and discuss your bow and your needs. He will get you the right string the first time.
