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'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.

Probably should'nt go over a 20-25 lb draw. You can always go up as strength develops, but proper form is very improtant when using a recurve.

The string is about 56 or 57", and is an appropriate fit for a bow with an AMO length of 60." (approximately the length from string nock to string nock, as measured with a soft tape measure).

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

You can go to a big 5, or you can go to there website. It is a 150 pound crossbow string.

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)

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!

Hi,I understand the question but I recommend speaking to whoever is going to sell you the string about this. A major sports supermarket has qualified technicians who can give you free advice on the string type and tension (mine was medium) . Hope this helps.

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

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 a #45 re curve is plenty to hunt deer with. In my state of Oregon the law requires you to use a #40 or over bow to hunt with. When hunting with a re curve use a arrow that is 30 or 31 inches long with a nice Zwickey broadhead. Finish the arrow off with four to five inches of feather fletching. Try out the Cherokee or eastern Woodland fletch. My arrows use a 31 inch 5/16 carbon arrow with Esklite heads and A Cherokee fletch done with rooster feathers.

My bow is a lightweight recurve pulling about 35#. All commercially made bow strings obviously take this into account. These arrows I purchased nocked onto that bowstring well. I would not try to use these fiberglass arrows on any bow pulling more than 40#.

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..

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.

Hello,I haven't seen that video. What can suggest, look for some of them on Youtube (a lot of videos how to use recurve bows). Buffalo is not my first recurve mongolian bow and is harder to string than for example Samick's but it's not impossible. Do it slowly and carefully, like every recurve bow can be easy damaged by uneven stringing ends or by rotating limbs. Good luck.some links:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gak6iSjF52whttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Y3IprEdFU

I dont believe so . I pretty sure it can handle 29 .I'm not an expert and haven't had this bow long but I dont think the 28in draw is the same as a compound bow .... more like 45lb at 28in if that makes sense to ya... that being said I wouldn't risk going much over 28 but 29 should be fine again not an expert though
