what length bow string do you need for it if you wont to change it

You'll need a 56 in since your bow is 60 in. I have this bow. Basic rule on this type is 4 in shorter than the full length of bow. Have fun!

When I purchased my strings, I noticed that they were too long for my bow. What I did was take the string and tie little knots in them to shorten it. It does not harm the bow or alter the integrity of the string. I hope this helps.

Many archery stores sell strings, aswell as amazon. They usually cost $5-$15. The way to tell the size string you need is to look at the size of the bow and subtract 4". So in this case the bow is 45". You need a string that is 41". Once you get the string wax it twist it a little and install it. You need to check the brace hight. On this bow the brace hight is 8". Twist more or less to get the correct brace hight. If you don't know what brace hight is. Google it. And get a good tune on your bow

Yes it can be adjusted for length accomodating different brace height bows. However, the hole in your riser has to be inline with your string or really close.

I have not personally attempted to however the two adjustments should not be relative. You should be able to set it at 13 inches and 70#, 30 inches and 5# or anywhere inbetween. I have 2 of these bows. My wifes is set at 24 inches and 45# my daughters is set at 24 inches and 30#. They both still have plenty of adjustment in both departments. When I get home I will read thru the manual and post a definitive answer.

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.

Maybe, if you do lengthen the string, you will have to re adjust the spring tension, but you are limited to how much. Like Bryan said add a longer leader. That is all I have.

I didn't have to change mine. Mine came with the Aquila New Nylgut strings on them. Can't remember if my friend had them on hers though. Use it all the time!

if your recurve is 63" UNstrug you should in theory go with the 60" string. strings for recurves are generally supposed to be 3.5"-4" shorter than the unstrung bow length from nock to nock. you have a some-what unusual bow length, much like my fiber glass flat bow which I find it hard to locate strings for. you theoretically need a string 59" long. you may want to do what eventually did and find some vids on youtube for making strings and then you just buy the Dacron b 50 and make it whatever length you need.

what i know of all the nock sizes are the same so u should be fine, just check the draw length of your bow before the arrow is to long or to short.

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.

By size do you mean length? If so that will depend on the draw length. If you are new to archery I recommend going to your local archery shop to get arrows. Take the bow with you and they can set you up with the proper draw length and make the arrows to fit. I hope this helps

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

I don't know. I've only used the string. You would have to contact Craftsman or possibly Sears for this answer. Cheers and have a great day.

Unlike a compound bow this recurve does not have a set draw length. The archer holds all of the weight of the draw with no let off. The poundage rating on the bow is typically rated for a 28 inch draw length. The poundage decreases with shorter draw lengths and increases with longer draw lengths. you do not need to know a draw length to purchase this bow. I do have this bow and love it. If you want to put a fast flight string on it you can do that as well. I called Martin Archery to make sure.

It is a real bow and can be set to a draw length of 22/23, the only thing to check is your state requirements for minimum poundage. At that draw length it might not be a high enough poundage to legally hunt.
