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.

Yes to first 2 questions. The length should be adjustable to your range. Check with your State as to the minimum draw for hunting with a bow. Florida requires 35 pound draw.

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 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.

Thanks for the advice PBM216. I will work on my proficiency for awhile with the stock string. Is 36 the correct length for a Vixen?

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 ordered them by mistake, the arrows are 28" long and good quality. My bow is a 70# draw tomahawk and shatters theese arrows. The arrows are ment for a youth bow, not mine. They are fine with anything up to a 35# draw in my opinion. Check out three rivers archery.com, they are the experts.

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".

Not familiar with the measurements of that particular bow; I shoot a PSE Dream Season EVO and there's room to spare.

Three feet before the it is strung. Once strung it is aprx 35". Still not too wide and the same width as Excalibur crossbows. The Wildfire II is an outstanding bow for the money!

An online store called "The Crossbow store" sells replacement strings that fit 120-150 lb bows for $8.49 each. They also sell a bow "stringer" which makes replacing the string much easier.

Hello,I have a recurve bow from 1972 60" the string seems to fit tight enough, though I have not had the time to actually take it to a range and test it. It is worth the "try" you can always return the string. I could not find anything even at Cabela's so I ordered from Amazon.

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.

I had a 30lb recurve that was best served with a different target. I currently have a 40lb that I use with a foam target box.

When I purchased my strings, I noticed that they were too long for my bow. What I did was take the string and tie little knots in them to shorten it. It does not harm the bow or alter the integrity of the string. I hope this helps.

You have to pick the length to add it to your cart. 54" is listed. The number of strands should be matched to the draw weight. I'm no expert but both the 14 and 16 strand strings work fine on my 50# draw bear recurve.
