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.

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.

All I can say is these arrows were purchased for me to use with my 55lb., composite bow. They are 31 inches long and work well with my bow.

Unlikely, so long as you are using field points. My 70# recurve gets about 8" of penetration, and my 120# yew bow will go through it, but it'll get stuck before the vanes come anywhere near the block. A 35# won't be an issue.

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.

I'm not sure why you're asking this question. Your nocks should be the same diameter as your arrow. Why would you want the nock to be a different size? But regardless of that, you should be using arrows that are designed to be shot by your bow. The Ghost 350 should be shooting the Barnett Headhunter arrows since they can take the speed and power that bow produces, which will give you consistent accuracy. Using after market or Johnny-come-lately copy cats will probably give you inconsistent accuracy. You can buy Barnett Headhunter arrows from most places, including Amazon.com

The arrow length you need depends on your draw length. Draw length is the length from your anchor point to about 1" past the arrow rest. If you look up a few archery websites there is a formula you can use to calculate it but your best to go to a shop with your equipment and have it measured out. The kit comes with 30" arrows.

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.

Draw length 30" give or take. My sons bow is a 68" with a 24lb draw. Good looking barebones bow. Good starter bow or new to recurve. Came with string..

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.

Bows don't usually come in sizes, it's by draw weight. A 50 lb is for fairly strong adult men. I've prefer 40-45 lbs as I can practice much longer without becoming exhausted.

These can take up to 47lbs (since it is 1820), I have 40-45lbs @ 28" English Longbow and these arrows perform very well (I replaced the plastic fletching into feathers though.)

I am not sure. When we got it for our 60 inch long bow it was a super tight fit...shorter than 60 inches but within a day or two it stretched just right. Hope that helps!

believe that the amount of pounds the recurve is rated at is a standard draw of 28 inches. at the draw of 28 inches is 50lbs for a recurve rated 50lbs. still I pull my bow 30 inches which increases the poundage. I shoot 31 inch arrows with a inch left over the front. of course one could draw further depends on length of arm and strength.

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!

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
