I aquired an old Browning Nomad recurve that needs a string.Specs on the bow say it is a 50 pound and 52 AMO.What length string do I need? Thanks.

  52 AMO is the string length I believe. Fast Flite is best.

  Yep, unless you can find someone around you to build you a string.

  Nope, do not use fast flite on an old bow, they were not designed for it, and the tips will break off. A 52" amo string will be an actual length of about 3 inches shorter or about 49" in actual length.

  On an older recurve such as yours a flemish twist style works good and is easy to tune your brace height. I have one on my Lord Mercury circa. 1966.
