Use a recurve stringer. That Has a pocket at one end and a rubber peice that lays on the limb on the other. It works for any.

I just orderd a Bamboo backed Osage longbow from them. I've been hearing good things about them. The 7-9 week wait is now 12-13 weeks. Word of mouth does that.

If it's an English styles longbow is it meant to have the horn tips? It might be that's where the string would go. I'm not sure, just a thought.
  A friend of mine told me about rudderbows. He built one and he loves it.
