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.

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!

No, a 40" draw is pretty unusual. You would probably do better with a larger bow. The Mohegan bow from greatreearchery comes in a 68 inch model for the same price range. They are a little harder to find in 68". I would try andoverarchery and call and ask them.

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.

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.

Decent intermediate bow. 55 #'s is very hard to pull back for a recurve, however. I shoot a 70# compound, and I wish I maybe got 45-50# recurve. Great bow though, and easy to take apart.

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 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!

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'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.

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 shoot a 58 in recurve and I have no issues.I also hunt with pistols using a Primos Trigger stick and all works great for me.Danny

It would depend more on the bow than the string, but I have this string on my 45 lb bow that we typically over draw a bit closer to 50 lbs.

According to the ad you can set the draw between 13 and 30 inches and between 5 and 70 lbs. Mine was set to 65 lbs and 24". If you don't know what you are doing I suggest taking it to a pro to set the bow up. I did that and he worked on it for a bit to get the draw length right. Take the instructions with you, if it isn't a bow they sell and work on regularly they will need to see them. Great bow, easy to shoot.

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

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.

That depends on use and care also what bow you have... properly waxed string with smooth waxed rails is the key to them lasting... standard strings are dacron D-50 but newer strings may be made from super braids or othermaterials. I have a string on a bow that is thirty years old but I don't shoot that one much that string is dacron by Ben Pearson. Crossbows are harder on strings than recurve bows. Start with Dacron since you are just beggining I assume, it is the cheapest and most plentiful. Keep the string and rails well waxed and Dacron should last a long time.
