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".

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 would pass on this if you really want to get into archery. I bought this for my girlfriend so she could loose some arrows with me. If I were you I would head down to Bass pro or a local archery store and talk with someone that knows about it. They will measure you for your draw length as well as help you find what your poundage is. Also they will specially cut arrows for your draw length. Its up to you though, depending on how serious you are about it all.

I believe your bow is a compound and mine is a standard recurve crossbow. The stringer is super cheap and seems to be constructed well. Works great for my bow. Is this the style your bow originally came with?

I took mine to Gander Mountain, they are 40" strings, can probably get it done at any Bow Outfitter as well.

Yes, I would. Want to add if you do order just specify which draw weight you want. I ordered the 50 but got the 30. However the company's customer service is great and quickly sent me the 50 arms and string. Also, if you have a local archery shop it's not a bad idea to stop by there and check too. I saw a real nice recurve at mine for only $49.99. So there are more options but I've found less online. Hope that helps some & good luck!

The draw weight means the amount of force needed to draw the string to its,maximum draw length which in this case is 28" I do believe. If the draw weight is 20 lbs then i would have to excert the same amount of force on the string as i would need to lift a 20 lbs weight. Or, if i tied a 20 lbs barbell to the string of the bow, and lifted it by the handle of the bow then i would draw the bow to the,max draw length. Basically you'd have to pull with 20 lbs of force on the string to draw the bow fully.

I had a 30lb recurve that was best served with a different target. I currently have a 40lb that I use with a foam target box.

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.

depends on your draw length. i have a long draw length (this bow is just under my draw length by about an inch) so i need a longer arrow. i have a draw length of 32" so i use a 32" arrow. 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.

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..

The Gold Tip Arrows Come Complete With Incerts However Your Local Bow Shop Will Need To Cut Your Arrows To The Draw Length, I Hope This Answer Helps You Sir.

Hello, I'm sorry for not responding earlier, but if you want to know, I used Husqvarna 639005102 Titanium Force String Trimmer Line .095-Inch by 1/2-Pound Donut for my replacement line. I hope you have luck with it. Husqvarna

Another hunting article I read indicated that a 55-60# draw weight was good for a 30-yard kill, whereas a 70# draw weight would be better for a 50-60-yard kill. With these ratings, the 25# draw weight of the Banshee might only be accurate to 10 yards. The design of the Banshee is simplistic, even by recurve standards, and you will have to work with it a while to get anything further (accuracy-wise) out of it. I will be buying one as my son's first compound bow; he has been practicing with a Bear student straight bow I've had for 30 years. If he likes it, maybe next year I'll move him into a $200 model.

I don't know. I've only used the string. You would have to contact Craftsman or possibly Sears for this answer. Cheers and have a great day.
