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, 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!

44 inches long, used for genesis bow, not the pro, not the mini, just the regular genesis. Room for something a little bigger than the regular genesis.

The draw length can be anywhere from 16" to 24". You can pull it back a minimum of 16" to a maximum of 24". This is not technically a compound bow, as there is no let off.

The string is about 56 or 57", and is an appropriate fit for a bow with an AMO length of 60." (approximately the length from string nock to string nock, as measured with a soft tape measure).

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 also had a longbow and used a string 4 inches shorter than the nock to nock meas.I was not concerned with the tension weight, only the look. Hope this helps

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.

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.

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! Since it is feather fletched there will be no problem shooting off the hand or off a shelf. For a 28" draw, you'll want 1816 arrows cut at 28", or, if you'd prefer arrows also capable of a longer draw, 1916 arrows cut at either 29 or 30 inches. It's best to find a consistent anchor point, however, or else accuracy will be seriously affected. I would get the 29" arrows at 1916, in case you ever find yourself wanting a higher draw weight. All you have to do is cut them down an inch to 28" and they'll work for up to a 55lb recurve or longbow.

It is ~ 2 + 7/8" to 2 + 15/16". Apparently this is standard for all my 3 Epi Les Pauls, Washburn Idol and RX50 and all the other 335s with the same hardware. Can't believe an SG is only ~ 2 + 1/4"! How many strings does your axe have? SG is derived from the original Les Paul, so I imagine it has the same hardware there.

The 80 will have more strands than the 50 so the 80 will be thicker and stronger. The number refers to the poundage of the bow so the string can withstand well over 80 pounds.

No idea other than its dimensions. I got it for my sons youth bow and based on the dimensions it would fit. The dimensions are like if it was rectangular and not triangular like the picture shows. I am sure the length is what it says just a little deceiving because it isn't rectangular and it didn't fit our bow. Hope that helps.

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.

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 always want your bow string 4-3 inches shorter than the size of your recurve or long bow
