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 have broken a few of them using a 20lb recurve bow, but don't let that get you down (they are nice arrows). I'm sure your OMP would be fine with them.

It depends on what setting you have it on. There is a table of pull weights, vs cams etc in the owners manual and says there is even an infinite setting to be like a traditional recurve. I would investigate the owners manual on their site and possibly call hope this helps

"Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." The draw weight of the bow in question is: 15 to 20 pounds. Draw length: 15 to 20 inches.The bow features durable composite limb and riser construction and measures 26 inches from axle to axle. Constructed of fiberglass, the Safetyglass arrows offer high flexing qualities and will not splinter. My guess is yes, you can use these arrows, since they come with the bow. I guess you would get the 26" arrows. The description is a little vague, but I notice that these arrows are commonly purchased together with the bow in question. The final question is what length of arrow do you get? 26" seems a safe bet. Or higher, 28" to 30" since "Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." i would buy the bow and see what arrows come with it before ordering more, or else contact the company directly and ask them, since the info does not appear to be on Amazon.

I believe it will depend on the length of arrow you order. The are available in 3 different lengths. My son has a shorter draw because he is a smaller person so the 26 inch works great. If you are a teen or young adult you most likely will be using a longer arrow because you have a stronger/longer draw and 30 inches would be okay. If you are hunting game a different bow is most likely in order....these are good for practice targets.

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.

29 pounds is the max but depending on draw length it could be less. 29 pounds is peak draw for 24 inch draw. Smaller draw length have lower peak weights.

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..

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.

The 150 lb string I bought was not a quality string. The serving was said by a professional string producer to be of some unknown, to him, material. The string began becoming loose in the serving upon the first few shots. I recommend buying material and advice from a bow outfitter, and learning to make one's own strings.

Check out the Easton website for arrow selector. The spine to be used is a function of cam performance, tip weight, draw weight and draw length. For this arrow, a 400 is recommended for 60 lb, hard cam bow using 28 or 29 in arrow with a 100 gr tip. If you go up to a 30 inch arrow, you would need a 330 "spine" arrow. Easton makes arrow selection a breeze by giving you a selector guide where you just enter in the cam type, draw weight, arrow length and tip weight and it tells you which arrow shaft you should be using for most reliable performance.

You can buy field tips. Also if you shoot at wood you can destroy the arrow. A target would be your best bet. You can pick one up for around $20.

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.

That depends on use and care also what bow you have... properly waxed string with smooth waxed rails is the key to them lasting... standard strings are dacron D-50 but newer strings may be made from super braids or othermaterials. I have a string on a bow that is thirty years old but I don't shoot that one much that string is dacron by Ben Pearson. Crossbows are harder on strings than recurve bows. Start with Dacron since you are just beggining I assume, it is the cheapest and most plentiful. Keep the string and rails well waxed and Dacron should last a long time.

Katsumoto-san,I think what you are saying is that you broke one of the LIMBS. The Martin Archery website will provide a replacement, you need to tell them the draw weight of the bow you are using. Here is a link you should look at: http://martinarchery.shptron.com/p/martin-take-down-limbs
