I have built a 72" longbow, whick measures 70" nock to nock. What size string do I need to order? Thank you.

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

I also had a longbow and used a string 4 inches shorter than the nock to nock meas.I was not concerned with the tension weight, only the look. Hope this helps

My bow is 58.25" nock to nock and I use a 55.5" string. I imagine that you would use a 67" string.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. 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.

The 14-strand bowstring is 64-inch (model#7395) .... mounting on one arm and twisting the string before mounting on the other end will shorten the string to add a few pounds pressure. I do not recall where I found out the right length for my bow.

Hi B. Carter- I shoot a 80lbs draw weight Mongol recurve horsebow and they do just fine for me. I can't speak for heavier draw weights. Hope that helps. Gary C.

All I can say is these arrows were purchased for me to use with my 55lb., composite bow. They are 31 inches long and work well with my bow.

I would go on the excalibur website,the diablo 18 inch works great in my crossbow,I have a 355 when ever I want to know something about my bow I go to the website sorry I couldn,t help you,they are great bolts at a good price

Yes! Since it is feather fletched there will be no problem shooting off the hand or off a shelf. For a 28" draw, you'll want 1816 arrows cut at 28", or, if you'd prefer arrows also capable of a longer draw, 1916 arrows cut at either 29 or 30 inches. It's best to find a consistent anchor point, however, or else accuracy will be seriously affected. I would get the 29" arrows at 1916, in case you ever find yourself wanting a higher draw weight. All you have to do is cut them down an inch to 28" and they'll work for up to a 55lb recurve or longbow.

I am probably not going to be much help here. The size I believe goes with the size of the arrow shaft. I bought this item for my wife and I just made a guess at which one she needed. I went with medium. I know trophy ridge has a website with size you would need for the arrows you use. Again I know that wasn't much help, sorry.

No idea other than its dimensions. I got it for my sons youth bow and based on the dimensions it would fit. The dimensions are like if it was rectangular and not triangular like the picture shows. I am sure the length is what it says just a little deceiving because it isn't rectangular and it didn't fit our bow. Hope that helps.

I am not an expert, but I would follow the recommendation for 22 inch bolts. My son and I both have this bow and love them. We have each harvested a deer nd the bows have worked flawlessly.

I think it's about 48" nock to nock. I havn't measured it in a while and I make strings for it and that was my last measurement I believe.

Hello,I have a recurve bow from 1972 60" the string seems to fit tight enough, though I have not had the time to actually take it to a range and test it. It is worth the "try" you can always return the string. I could not find anything even at Cabela's so I ordered from Amazon.

According to the ad you can set the draw between 13 and 30 inches and between 5 and 70 lbs. Mine was set to 65 lbs and 24". If you don't know what you are doing I suggest taking it to a pro to set the bow up. I did that and he worked on it for a bit to get the draw length right. Take the instructions with you, if it isn't a bow they sell and work on regularly they will need to see them. Great bow, easy to shoot.

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.

I have a Bear Encounter bow. It's 70 pounds but the axle to axle length is what you need to judge the fit by. Mines 30 1/2"

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 last digits tell the number of links in the chain. 72 is standard for 18" Husqvarna chains. Alswys check your vendor's recommendation for fitting a chain.

these bows are 47 inches when strung. I bought two, for a 13 yr old grand daughter and a 8 year old grandson. They have shot them all year, in fact are shooting them now, and they have been great. Both kids are developing pretty good skills. I set up a twenty yard range with hay bales in the back yard. We're well pleased Jim
