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.

Unlikely, so long as you are using field points. My 70# recurve gets about 8" of penetration, and my 120# yew bow will go through it, but it'll get stuck before the vanes come anywhere near the block. A 35# won't be an issue.

I prefer a 30 inch arrow. Easton makes several that are great for this bow.

72x67-72x46 but it will be 2 inches short of your desired 48 inch hieght. 1st # is bow to stern distance, 2nd is width, 3rd is max high.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

I have a 36" round on it. I would think the 70" long would be too much for it.

By size do you mean length? If so that will depend on the draw length. If you are new to archery I recommend going to your local archery shop to get arrows. Take the bow with you and they can set you up with the proper draw length and make the arrows to fit. I hope this helps

They should be fine ... not an expert... seems like nocks would be compatible with all bow strings.... shaft will crack and splinter into stringy fiber spaghetti if you try to remove imbedded arrows from solid materials (tree stump) if you have a soft target get these ... economical i thought... they do seem to fly true although i have not tested them long range. Pretty wicked looking arrows

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

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.

Three feet before the it is strung. Once strung it is aprx 35". Still not too wide and the same width as Excalibur crossbows. The Wildfire II is an outstanding bow for the money!
