I have a Crossman ABY215 recurve, with "custom string." To get a replacement, which string should I get? Measures '45" tip to tip'. 20lb 25"max draw

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".

I use the 1816 with a traditional recurve at 38 lb draw. Get them cut to 29 " and put 100 grain points on. I shoot them off the shelf.

Hello,I have a recurve bow from 1972 60" the string seems to fit tight enough, though I have not had the time to actually take it to a range and test it. It is worth the "try" you can always return the string. I could not find anything even at Cabela's so I ordered from Amazon.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

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.

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.

Katsumoto-san,I think what you are saying is that you broke one of the LIMBS. The Martin Archery website will provide a replacement, you need to tell them the draw weight of the bow you are using. Here is a link you should look at: http://martinarchery.shptron.com/p/martin-take-down-limbs

Absolutely! These arrows are perfect for a recurve of that size. Length of arrow is not an issue with a beginner, as long as they are not more than 1/4 the overall-length beyond the draw-length (in this case, up to 8")... longer than that, and they become too difficult to aim/shoot accurately with a low draw-weight. 20# is just fine for shooting these arrows (recommended range is 10-45#). My youngest shoots them from his 10# compound @ 25" draw... all day long!

The razor tip has a trocar tip like the muzzy. If you are only hunting deer the ss works great. And you can get the ss in a 2" cut. They both work great. I have used them for 3 years now. They recommend a 65# bow for best deployment. But I shoot a Parker 60# and they have never failed me. Hope this helps. Have a safe season and good luck.

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)

Hi Zac, My apologies for the delay, but i actually got rid of all of my Gamegetters. I believe they do fit, since all of my arrow heads (field points, thumpers, and broad heads) easily screwed into all of my arrows in the past. I was shooting XX75s and Gamegetters back then. And these Broadheads I just picked up screwed into my remaining XX75s and my carbon shafts...standard insert. Cheers.

I used SA Sports Ambush Crossbow 150lb draw. I am a novice hunter. These arrows did the job for me. They survived over a dozen shots target/sighting in and even the 6-7'' pine tree trunk that it hit after passing through my first deer ever last month.

"Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." The draw weight of the bow in question is: 15 to 20 pounds. Draw length: 15 to 20 inches.The bow features durable composite limb and riser construction and measures 26 inches from axle to axle. Constructed of fiberglass, the Safetyglass arrows offer high flexing qualities and will not splinter. My guess is yes, you can use these arrows, since they come with the bow. I guess you would get the 26" arrows. The description is a little vague, but I notice that these arrows are commonly purchased together with the bow in question. The final question is what length of arrow do you get? 26" seems a safe bet. Or higher, 28" to 30" since "Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." i would buy the bow and see what arrows come with it before ordering more, or else contact the company directly and ask them, since the info does not appear to be on Amazon.

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.

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.

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.
