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.

I string it through my legs like any other recurve. But if you absolutely must do it the traditional way then go to YouTube and look up how to string a Mongolian bow. This is not a Mongolian bow but they have a similar shape.

The string measures 58". I read that the AMO length is usually 4 inches longer than the string on a recurve bow, which would make the bow 62". The string came with this kit and it fit perfectly.

You would need to drill holes and press in threaded inserts to mount it to a recurve bow. I believe Bear Archery sells brass inserts on their website.

It is a real bow and can be set to a draw length of 22/23, the only thing to check is your state requirements for minimum poundage. At that draw length it might not be a high enough poundage to legally hunt.

I recommend a whisker biscuit for recurve. This will not work at all, because a compound bow has the needed down line to pull the rest up.

I didn't know, so I chose the medium one, as what most people do when cannot decide; but it fit my bow perfectly. I have a Martin saber takedown recurve, 64" in length, using 28"arrow

They will come with the new strings but the strings are crap go to you local archery shop and have a set of strings made should be around fifty bucks but I've put well over 500 shots off one string and it hasn't frayed yet

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!

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

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.

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 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

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

I prefer a 30 inch arrow. Easton makes several that are great for this bow.
