As a starting point, take the bow length and subtract 3.5 inches.
Or.... and here's the really easy way to do it....
Measure the distance between the limbtips when the bow is unbraced.
(in days of old [I was there so I know] people used to store their one-piece recurves with the strings held on the nocks of the limbs)
It's dependent on materials used, but it will be in the ball park.
