I have built a 72" longbow, whick measures 70" nock to nock. What size string do I need to order? Thank you.

You always want your bow string 4-3 inches shorter than the size of your recurve or long bow

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

My bow is 58.25" nock to nock and I use a 55.5" string. I imagine that you would use a 67" string.

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

long bow string lengths are supposed to be at least 3" shorter than bow length nock-nock. you can go 2.5" or up to 4" but these lengths will affect you your brace height and string tension. if you want higher brace go with 4" shorter and more strands than your draw weight needs. personally i'd say never go for a lower brace than what you get at 3" shorter string though. too much wrist slap.

The 80 will have more strands than the 50 so the 80 will be thicker and stronger. The number refers to the poundage of the bow so the string can withstand well over 80 pounds.

Depends on the size of the archer . I think it comes with 26 inch junk arrows. I'd get at least 28 inch. It's a 25# bow so match the arrow spine appropriately. Get feathered arrows, not vaned-it'll tear off the vanes quickly (try the ones that come with it and see)

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

these bows are 47 inches when strung. I bought two, for a 13 yr old grand daughter and a 8 year old grandson. They have shot them all year, in fact are shooting them now, and they have been great. Both kids are developing pretty good skills. I set up a twenty yard range with hay bales in the back yard. We're well pleased Jim

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 ordered them by mistake, the arrows are 28" long and good quality. My bow is a 70# draw tomahawk and shatters theese arrows. The arrows are ment for a youth bow, not mine. They are fine with anything up to a 35# draw in my opinion. Check out three rivers archery.com, they are the experts.

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

They should be fine ... not an expert... seems like nocks would be compatible with all bow strings.... shaft will crack and splinter into stringy fiber spaghetti if you try to remove imbedded arrows from solid materials (tree stump) if you have a soft target get these ... economical i thought... they do seem to fly true although i have not tested them long range. Pretty wicked looking arrows

The string measures 58". I read that the AMO length is usually 4 inches longer than the string on a recurve bow, which would make the bow 62". The string came with this kit and it fit perfectly.

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".

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.

These arrows are about 28 inches from the nock to the arrow head, so you're draw length is more of a determining factor. The shafts seem kind of light so I wouldn't use them with a heavy draw weight. Some people have complained about the shafts being warped, and some of mine are but hey...primitive arrows. If I'm going to hunt I'm going to get some carbon arrows and sharp broad heads, but I might use these on small game. Overall they are a nice product and look really good.

The last digits tell the number of links in the chain. 72 is standard for 18" Husqvarna chains. Alswys check your vendor's recommendation for fitting a chain.

I can't honestly answer this question. What I will say is that this bow is 5' tall unstrung and almost exactly your height strung. My intuition says that it's not the correct size but I'm not an expert. I would suggest going to your local sporting goods store and asking.
