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".

recommend 700 spine carbon arrow, don't use cheap fiberglass shafts. Best result with feather fletching. original length arrow is OK and do NOT recommend cutting arrow to actual draw length, because cutting down the length will make the arrow stiffer.

The string is about 27 inches. Get the right pounds about 150-160 and you be ok, got my replacement from amazon

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.

The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yeah it's the correct length. Just twist the new string about 15 times and install it. It should then fall in between the two lines on your Phoenix. Then after shooting 25 times or so you may have to twist it 5 or 10 more times to keep it in between the two lines. Phoenix is a nice crossbow, have fun.

The PSE Razorback is an excellent bow. On this bow the poundage is reached when you pull the bow back 28". My guess is that he will be drawing the bow back about 24", so this will reduce the draw weight by 8#. As he grows his draw length will increase which will also increase the poundage he is pulling on the bow. I would go with the 25 pound unless he is very active and stronger than average. He will be more prone to develop bad habits with the heavier bow.

I had to have my string replaced and went to a archery shop that services Horton two weeks ago. Ten Point who bought Horton is planning on supporting the reverse draw crossbows that Horton sold. No warranty available since Horton went out of business. Check local arechery shops for horton support.

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.

Depends on his build and strength. Suggest you ask whoever gives him lessons... if they are not available, take him to a Bow shop and have them make a suggestion on draw weight. It is better to err on the side of getting a lighter draw rather than a draw that is too heavy.

I believe it will depend on the length of arrow you order. The are available in 3 different lengths. My son has a shorter draw because he is a smaller person so the 26 inch works great. If you are a teen or young adult you most likely will be using a longer arrow because you have a stronger/longer draw and 30 inches would be okay. If you are hunting game a different bow is most likely in order....these are good for practice targets.
