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".

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.

Good Luck HORTON went out of business , RIGHTS purchased by TEN POINT and they have no plans on reproducing parts for current owners. You have two options Bitch to amazon or get the dimensions for mechanism online and get a machine shop to fab " one off" and use 550 chord for the string. ;-(

Just depends on how strong you are but the draw weight is adjustable also. You can adjust the draw weight yourself or most sporting goods stores can do it also for about $5 , maybe a little more. Long as you have it at 40 lbs or more draw weight it is legal to hunt with

Max draw length is 26" so any arrow 26" or longer will work, except wooden arrows designed for smaller draw weights. I just bought the cheapest aluminum arrows I could find.

You can use for either. If you buy for recurve just add some brass inserts 100 grain at tip. Get the Allen arrows rated lower pounds though. More in 50-60 range.

Hi, how are you? Thanks for your question. This listing is for the 36" Flemish string made by Excalibur. If there is anything else, we are here to help. Your friends at Fuddlebucks

"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.

Hi Bennison, I personally have finally settled on th EJ26-3d strings. They are a custom light .011-.052 and are a little easier onthe fingers while still giving you a full fat sound.

29 pounds is the max but depending on draw length it could be less. 29 pounds is peak draw for 24 inch draw. Smaller draw length have lower peak weights.

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 bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

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").

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.

I had mine custom cut when I ordered it. Be sure that you have it cut the correct height for you personally. Perhaps someone with a saw can cut it for you. Just remove the tip, cut the necessary amount off, replace the tip and you're good to go.
