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
7178
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.

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

My bow is a lightweight recurve pulling about 35#. All commercially made bow strings obviously take this into account. These arrows I purchased nocked onto that bowstring well. I would not try to use these fiberglass arrows on any bow pulling more than 40#.

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.

The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

I'm not real sure what you are asking. I am using a recurve bow with a 25 pound pull with 28 inch arrow. I am not very strong either and having no trouble with the 25 pound pull. I hope this helps you.

This bow is for all ages. It is my wifes primary bow. The draw length will go up to 30" and the draw weight will go up to 70 lbs. If you are starting out this is great because you can start at a low draw weight and slowly work your way up. Without having to get a new bow.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

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.

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.

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

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.

These can take up to 47lbs (since it is 1820), I have 40-45lbs @ 28" English Longbow and these arrows perform very well (I replaced the plastic fletching into feathers though.)

what i know of all the nock sizes are the same so u should be fine, just check the draw length of your bow before the arrow is to long or to short.

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.

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.
