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.

Another hunting article I read indicated that a 55-60# draw weight was good for a 30-yard kill, whereas a 70# draw weight would be better for a 50-60-yard kill. With these ratings, the 25# draw weight of the Banshee might only be accurate to 10 yards. The design of the Banshee is simplistic, even by recurve standards, and you will have to work with it a while to get anything further (accuracy-wise) out of it. I will be buying one as my son's first compound bow; he has been practicing with a Bear student straight bow I've had for 30 years. If he likes it, maybe next year I'll move him into a $200 model.

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.

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 am using Easton Carbon "Raider" (55/70) (400) arrows with these points. Using it with a recurve bow. I don't see the particular arrows I own listed ( not even on Easton's website). Overall Easton arrows. Search Easton Carbon arrows on Amazon.

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

I got the bow for my 11 year old son. It's a quality bow!! He says you should go with the adult size, so long as you are strong enough to pull it through the maximum draw weight.

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.

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.

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!

believe that the amount of pounds the recurve is rated at is a standard draw of 28 inches. at the draw of 28 inches is 50lbs for a recurve rated 50lbs. still I pull my bow 30 inches which increases the poundage. I shoot 31 inch arrows with a inch left over the front. of course one could draw further depends on length of arm and strength.

I hadn't done much archery before and I started with 35lbs; I think 30lbs is a good place to start, maybe 20-25 if you're not overly athletic.

You'll need a 56 in since your bow is 60 in. I have this bow. Basic rule on this type is 4 in shorter than the full length of bow. Have fun!

I took mine to an archery shop and they set it for me at 43lbs. If you are a lady, I would suggest a release, this would give you more strength to hold. I am 70 and I need it and it is very helpful.

Bows don't usually come in sizes, it's by draw weight. A 50 lb is for fairly strong adult men. I've prefer 40-45 lbs as I can practice much longer without becoming exhausted.

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.
