Hello Bobby - it looks to be 56" according this page: http://www.3riversarchery.com/bear+60%26quot%3B+super+kodiak+recurve_i20201X_baseitem.html, please verify the brace heigth. Generally you're looking at 3 1/2 to 4" less than the bow length.

I believe your bow is a compound and mine is a standard recurve crossbow. The stringer is super cheap and seems to be constructed well. Works great for my bow. Is this the style your bow originally came with?

I dont believe so . I pretty sure it can handle 29 .I'm not an expert and haven't had this bow long but I dont think the 28in draw is the same as a compound bow .... more like 45lb at 28in if that makes sense to ya... that being said I wouldn't risk going much over 28 but 29 should be fine again not an expert though

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

It's the strength. The length and the thickness should be the same. Get the 80 lb string if you want more power

The weight is measured at 28" draw for all and I draw 31.5' on the 62". Being instutional bows, they have a wide draw range. Call Bear if it's a concern.

Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10"). The draw length will not extend beyond 29".The string is quite good for an inexpensive bow. It should last several years depending on how you treat it. Have a bow shop check it after your first year. I have used this how for hunting, and feel like I need no other bow. It is an older design, but a good one. It will need to have the draw length set, and have a better arrow rest (Whisper Buscuit type) and also a peep site added. You will need good carbon arrows, and you will be all set. I couldn't believe what a great bow for so cheap. Before answering , I think I need to say that this bow will not be adequate for a tall person, (over 5'10").

I bought these for my neice and they worked very well out of the box. She has a Bear recurve #20 with 60 AMO. They launched sideways off my Bear recurve #35 with 60 AMO. An archery shop could best answer this question. I would not risk the purchase without finding out first. There are very many factors when tuning arrows to match a bow.

Sorry, but I never used a recurve bow on it only compound. I am pretty sure it will penetrate though considering my 60# compound penetrates a couple of inches from 35 to 40 yards away.

I also had a longbow and used a string 4 inches shorter than the nock to nock meas.I was not concerned with the tension weight, only the look. Hope this helps

You can buy a bow string from stores that sell archery supplies, including Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, Cabelas, and maybe even Walmart. Or order on line: google "archery supplies"

You have to pick the length to add it to your cart. 54" is listed. The number of strands should be matched to the draw weight. I'm no expert but both the 14 and 16 strand strings work fine on my 50# draw bear recurve.

My bow is a lightweight recurve pulling about 35#. All commercially made bow strings obviously take this into account. These arrows I purchased nocked onto that bowstring well. I would not try to use these fiberglass arrows on any bow pulling more than 40#.

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

I'm not real sure what you are asking. I am using a recurve bow with a 25 pound pull with 28 inch arrow. I am not very strong either and having no trouble with the 25 pound pull. I hope this helps you.

I have an old Bear Bow which had a much bigger thread size. I added a threaded sleeve.. The rod threads is a standard for most newer compound bows!
