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.

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

The string is about 27 inches. Get the right pounds about 150-160 and you be ok, got my replacement from amazon

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!

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

Correction: The string is 60" for my 64" (notch to notch unstrung bow). Rule of thumb 4" shorter than bow. The string is labeled for the length of the bow on the package. My glass re-curve bow is a 40# draw. So you order for the bow length and the string should arrive automatically 4" shorter.

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.

I string it through my legs like any other recurve. But if you absolutely must do it the traditional way then go to YouTube and look up how to string a Mongolian bow. This is not a Mongolian bow but they have a similar shape.

If there is no AMO string length on the bow, then you can start with the tip to tip (unstrung) as a "pretty close" length. If the old string is intact, it will probably have stretched if it's not a fast-flight string, so go a 1/2" or so shorter. The AMO string will measure about 4" shorter than what the package says. I have a bunch of Bill Stewart recurves with the "multicam" wrinkle in them and found the string length needed when not listed is very close to the tip to tip measurement, keeping in mind the Stewart limbs have a more radical curve at the tip. Base height when strung should be around 6-3/4" to 7-1/2" ( distance from innermost section of grip to string). May want to go a bit long and then twist the string to get dialed in, string should have some twists anyway and if it is well waxed the twists tend to "set".

Hello,I haven't seen that video. What can suggest, look for some of them on Youtube (a lot of videos how to use recurve bows). Buffalo is not my first recurve mongolian bow and is harder to string than for example Samick's but it's not impossible. Do it slowly and carefully, like every recurve bow can be easy damaged by uneven stringing ends or by rotating limbs. Good luck.some links:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gak6iSjF52whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Y3IprEdFU

I purchased some of these last year and I am very pleased with the quality, the 28" length is more suitable for larger (62") version of your bow. If these are being purchased for the smaller (54") bow, you may wish to search for 26" arrows.

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

I prefer a 30 inch arrow. Easton makes several that are great for this bow.

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.

I took mine to Gander Mountain, they are 40" strings, can probably get it done at any Bow Outfitter as well.

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.
