I have a 45lb Saber takedown recurve bow at 63in. unstrung and strung it is 62.5in.. Would I go 60, 62, or 64 AMO?

if your recurve is 63" UNstrug you should in theory go with the 60" string. strings for recurves are generally supposed to be 3.5"-4" shorter than the unstrung bow length from nock to nock. you have a some-what unusual bow length, much like my fiber glass flat bow which I find it hard to locate strings for. you theoretically need a string 59" long. you may want to do what eventually did and find some vids on youtube for making strings and then you just buy the Dacron b 50 and make it whatever length you need.

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 would feel comfortable taking a 40 yard shot with this bow. That is just my self imposed limit. However this bow is very capable of at least 60 yard shots.

Unlike a compound bow this recurve does not have a set draw length. The archer holds all of the weight of the draw with no let off. The poundage rating on the bow is typically rated for a 28 inch draw length. The poundage decreases with shorter draw lengths and increases with longer draw lengths. you do not need to know a draw length to purchase this bow. I do have this bow and love it. If you want to put a fast flight string on it you can do that as well. I called Martin Archery to make sure.

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.

I don't have a recurve but most likely... It is a much larger case than expected and think for something as compact as a recurve(especially with detachable limbs) I would look for something much smaller. I bought it for a Mathews ZXT with parallel limbs and there is a TON of extra, unused space. Just my 2 cents!

I shoot a 58 in recurve and I have no issues.I also hunt with pistols using a Primos Trigger stick and all works great for me.Danny

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.

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.

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!

28" inch arrows seems to work best, I wouldn't go less than that. 30" might be good except more of the shaft would stick out the end. In Competition only the 28" would be used anyways. These bows are used and recognized by most all school archery classes and competitions. They like 28". hope this helps you.

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 purchased some of these last year and I am very pleased with the quality, the 28" length is more suitable for larger (62") version of your bow. If these are being purchased for the smaller (54") bow, you may wish to search for 26" arrows.

Both of my takedown bows are 62" but there seems to be enough room in the case for 2" longer limbs.

Unstrung is 63 inches tall and strung is 61 1/2 inches tall. My husband loves this bow he says it's a perfect combination of a long bow and a medevil recurve bow. He says he feels like a dragon slayer with this bow. Highly recommend.
