          Hi,

          As this is a very light bow, may be for a kid you can easy string the bow with an ordinary rope respecting the brace height , then you measure the string with enough range- for 2 loops

          With this information you build a dacron string 12-14 strands .

          Enought for a 20Lbs bow

            John the AMO standard of old is string length 3″ shorter for a longbow and 4″ shorter for a recurve.

            I don’t know if that Indian bow is a longbow or a recurve but you’re looking at 47″ for a longbow or 46″ if it’s a recurve.
