Hello Bobby - it looks to be 56" according this page: http://www.3riversarchery.com/bear+60%26quot%3B+super+kodiak+recurve_i20201X_baseitem.html, please verify the brace heigth. Generally you're looking at 3 1/2 to 4" less than the bow length.

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.

That is the draw weight for the bows. You can get it in 20 pounds up to 35 pounds. In other words, if you put a scale on the 20# bow and drew it to full draw, the scale wold read, 20 pounds. You might borrow a friend's bow to see what weight you are comfortable with before you order one.

No. These arrows are only rated for bows up to 35lbs. In most states, 35lbs is the absolute minimum legal draw weight for any bow intended for hunting. These arrows also have a basic target point pre-installed. They are great for target practice, but there are so many quality customizable hunting arrows out there that it really isn't worth trying to retrofit these for hunting.

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 don't know. I've only used the string. You would have to contact Craftsman or possibly Sears for this answer. Cheers and have a great day.

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.

I took mine to a local sporting goods store who sells Barnett crossbows. The tech restrung it with the string they had in stock for only the price of the string. You need a bow press to accomplish the re-stringing function. He did it in 15 minutes.

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

It would depend more on the bow than the string, but I have this string on my 45 lb bow that we typically over draw a bit closer to 50 lbs.

I bought these for my neice and they worked very well out of the box. She has a Bear recurve #20 with 60 AMO. They launched sideways off my Bear recurve #35 with 60 AMO. An archery shop could best answer this question. I would not risk the purchase without finding out first. There are very many factors when tuning arrows to match a bow.

definitely work on a recurve crossbow' s string. My husband added them to his recurve bow and I have them for mine. He shoots more than I do and he hasn't commented on the speed of his arrows changing at all since he added the beaver balls to his bow string.

I have an old Bear Bow which had a much bigger thread size. I added a threaded sleeve.. The rod threads is a standard for most newer compound bows!

Correction: The string is 60" for my 64" (notch to notch unstrung bow). Rule of thumb 4" shorter than bow. The string is labeled for the length of the bow on the package. My glass re-curve bow is a 40# draw. So you order for the bow length and the string should arrive automatically 4" shorter.

I am not sure. When we got it for our 60 inch long bow it was a super tight fit...shorter than 60 inches but within a day or two it stretched just right. Hope that helps!
