I have a Samick Sage 62" Takedown Recurve Bow , #35. What string length do I need?

According to convention, 58", but it couldn't hurt to check with the manufacturer.

AMO string length of 62" is a true length of 58". A measurement of string notch to string notch in an unstrung bow will give you a "pretty dang close" number to start with if you have no AMO lenght listed. 4" actual length shorter than AMO length is good fog recurve, longbow is around 3" less. Base height may be listed as well ( distance from string to deepest recess in grip while strung ) will help dial it in.

Many archery stores sell strings, aswell as amazon. They usually cost $5-$15. The way to tell the size string you need is to look at the size of the bow and subtract 4". So in this case the bow is 45". You need a string that is 41". Once you get the string wax it twist it a little and install it. You need to check the brace hight. On this bow the brace hight is 8". Twist more or less to get the correct brace hight. If you don't know what brace hight is. Google it. And get a good tune on your bow

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 didn't know, so I chose the medium one, as what most people do when cannot decide; but it fit my bow perfectly. I have a Martin saber takedown recurve, 64" in length, using 28"arrow

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

Standard for modern bows is 5/16 X 24, it fit my PSE bow I bought a year ago. I don't have my bow with me at the moment so I cant check for certain.

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

I am nearly a gorilla with 32" draw length, likewise my Bow's ATA length is normally as long as made, so I would imagine it would fit any bow, however without your bows exact measurements, there is no way to be sure. If you post the measurements I will let you know for sure.

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.

The arrow length depends on your draw length. You can go to Dick's Sporting goods and they will custom cut them for you.

The 80 will have more strands than the 50 so the 80 will be thicker and stronger. The number refers to the poundage of the bow so the string can withstand well over 80 pounds.

They will work on recurve and long bows. The nocks were a little tight for my strand size of 16, but I just sanded the space in between.

I have 2 traditional recurve bows and I've fired over 60 of these arrows through them. One is 25 #and the other is 45#. They fly straighter than any other arrow I've used so far. Hope this helps

They come in cut at 32". You have to cut them to your length. FYI, it's the best arrow I have ever shot!

41.5 inches at the widest part x 17.5 inches tall. I'd say total bow length should be under 40 inches.

The internal dimension are 35" x 14" x 5". You may want to compare this to the size of your bow to determine if it will fit properly. Jessica S., Customer Service

15 inch or longer if you want. I suggest the cheap aluminum ones for target practice just use the tips on them. If your going to use the bow to hunt then I guess I would use the expensive tips and arrows. I just use mine for target shooting unless your Bill Gates you'll go broke hawing the top of the line bolts and heads.
