I have a Crossman ABY215 recurve, with "custom string." To get a replacement, which string should I get? Measures '45" tip to tip'. 20lb 25"max draw

If there is no AMO string length on the bow, then you can start with the tip to tip (unstrung) as a "pretty close" length. If the old string is intact, it will probably have stretched if it's not a fast-flight string, so go a 1/2" or so shorter. The AMO string will measure about 4" shorter than what the package says. I have a bunch of Bill Stewart recurves with the "multicam" wrinkle in them and found the string length needed when not listed is very close to the tip to tip measurement, keeping in mind the Stewart limbs have a more radical curve at the tip. Base height when strung should be around 6-3/4" to 7-1/2" ( distance from innermost section of grip to string). May want to go a bit long and then twist the string to get dialed in, string should have some twists anyway and if it is well waxed the twists tend to "set".

I had mine custom cut when I ordered it. Be sure that you have it cut the correct height for you personally. Perhaps someone with a saw can cut it for you. Just remove the tip, cut the necessary amount off, replace the tip and you're good to go.

Depends on what their draw it you will need to go to sportmans wharehouse or some place that has bows for sale and get his draw measured they will then st the bow to match hope this helps

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

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

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

My understanding is that the draw weight of the bow is determined by the limbs which are attached. You can modify the draw weight by using different limbs. I bought a set of 30lbs and 55lbs limbs so that I can have my young son use the same bow. We swap out the 55lbs limb for the 30lbs'ers when he wants to shoot. It regards to the description, it was probably just a misprint.

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.

The PSE Razorback is an excellent bow. On this bow the poundage is reached when you pull the bow back 28". My guess is that he will be drawing the bow back about 24", so this will reduce the draw weight by 8#. As he grows his draw length will increase which will also increase the poundage he is pulling on the bow. I would go with the 25 pound unless he is very active and stronger than average. He will be more prone to develop bad habits with the heavier bow.

Draw length is adjustable and very simple to change. It is definitely powerful enough to hunt with. I used it this past season and the deer is shot went about 20 yards so it packs enough punch. I think the max draw weight is 60lbs not sure you could get that much with a 22" draw but I definitely recomend this bow. For the money and quality you can't beat it.

This is a great beginers bow but I think your draw length would be too long, you would be better buying one to fit your draw length, bass pro or other bow retail shops like that can help you decide what draw length and what pound draw you can handle

The draw weight means the amount of force needed to draw the string to its,maximum draw length which in this case is 28" I do believe. If the draw weight is 20 lbs then i would have to excert the same amount of force on the string as i would need to lift a 20 lbs weight. Or, if i tied a 20 lbs barbell to the string of the bow, and lifted it by the handle of the bow then i would draw the bow to the,max draw length. Basically you'd have to pull with 20 lbs of force on the string to draw the bow fully.

I don't know how consistent the draw weight is set out of the box. My bow was around 58lbs. Be sure to get it tuned. The cams were slightly out of sync. It's a great bow. Can't wait for the deer to cooperate enough for me to use it!

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#.

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

Just depends on how strong you are but the draw weight is adjustable also. You can adjust the draw weight yourself or most sporting goods stores can do it also for about $5 , maybe a little more. Long as you have it at 40 lbs or more draw weight it is legal to hunt with
