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.

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.

That is the draw weight for the bows. You can get it in 20 pounds up to 35 pounds. In other words, if you put a scale on the 20# bow and drew it to full draw, the scale wold read, 20 pounds. You might borrow a friend's bow to see what weight you are comfortable with before you order one.

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).

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!

You always want your bow string 4-3 inches shorter than the size of your recurve or long bow

The string measures 58". I read that the AMO length is usually 4 inches longer than the string on a recurve bow, which would make the bow 62". The string came with this kit and it fit perfectly.

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.

I use a 45 #compound and it works fine for that. The leather is real heavy and thick. My bow is adjustable and later on when I build up more strength Ill increase it to 55 and so on. I really think it could handle it

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.

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've always gone by spine number. The lower the number the stiffer the arrow. Heavier the draw weight of your bow, the stiffer the arrow you need to shoot. A lite draw weight bow can shoot a stiff arrow but a heavy draw weight bow can splinter a less stiff arrow. The 55/70 has a spine numbed of 400 (according to the description). That would be fine for a 55lb pull bow or lighter, but would be minimum stiffness for a 70lb pull bow. I don't have these arrows so I'm just making an assumption that 55/70 is an attempt at telling you what weight bow they should work with. I guess Robert doesn't know what numbers mean ether. He gave a kind of a crappy answer.

Jonathan, 60 pounds might be the draw weight that you are looking for but 60 inches ('') would be one large bow. If you are looking for your draw length, then measure your wingspan and divide it by 2.5. This should get you in the ball park for draw length. Draw weight is the amount of weight you need to get the bow to full draw. This is more of trial and error/what you feel most comfortable with. With this bow you have the flexibility of adjustably to fine tune it to your needs. Best, Bruce

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 would depend more on the bow than the string, but I have this string on my 45 lb bow that we typically over draw a bit closer to 50 lbs.
