69" sometime in The past I have lost the original string. I would like to know what length and where to buy.thank you much.

The actual string length for a 69" Tamerlane would be around 66".  Usually 3" shorter than the AMO stated length.  A 35# bow would use about a 10 strand string, but I would go with a 12 strand to be safe.  That is if you are using a B-50 endless loop string.  Some like Flemish, I don't.

"DO NOT" use a fastflight string on that bow.  You "will" break the tips.

Just FYI- I had a 35# 69" '67 Tamerlane.  Smoooooth shooter.  It developed a crack in the riser so I sent it back to Bear for warranty.  They replaced it with a '68 37# 69".  I didn't complain.  Some purty rosewood in those risers.

Thanks for the info and it has some nice grain in the riser. It will be nice to get it back out
to through a few arrows at the target.
