I have a 45lb Saber takedown recurve bow at 63in. unstrung and strung it is 62.5in.. Would I go 60, 62, or 64 AMO?

if your recurve is 63" UNstrug you should in theory go with the 60" string. strings for recurves are generally supposed to be 3.5"-4" shorter than the unstrung bow length from nock to nock. you have a some-what unusual bow length, much like my fiber glass flat bow which I find it hard to locate strings for. you theoretically need a string 59" long. you may want to do what eventually did and find some vids on youtube for making strings and then you just buy the Dacron b 50 and make it whatever length you need.

Unlikely, so long as you are using field points. My 70# recurve gets about 8" of penetration, and my 120# yew bow will go through it, but it'll get stuck before the vanes come anywhere near the block. A 35# won't be an issue.

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.

Within that weight range you should get the 110-158 range. The bow on the set that starts at 150 will be too stiff and your weight won't be enough to break them in.

Ok so I don't have it stock anymore. I put a Leupold Crossbones on it instead of the luminated no brand that it came with. The other was fine I just have older eyes and prefer Leupold. I also installed limbsavers and updated to an Alpine quiver that holds 6 arrows instead of 3. All of that may or may not have added to its weight. Mine weighs in at 11.8 #. I bought the Primos trigger stick 2 and that solved the weight issue. Don't let the weight scare you away, this is an amazingly fast and accurate bow. I carry it with a threepoint AR-15 sling which hangs it in front and to my left side for quick target acquisition and so that I can watch my limbs and cables as I go through the brush. Hope this helped.

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.

My bow is 58.25" nock to nock and I use a 55.5" string. I imagine that you would use a 67" string.

Jonathan, 60 pounds might be the draw weight that you are looking for but 60 inches ('') would be one large bow. If you are looking for your draw length, then measure your wingspan and divide it by 2.5. This should get you in the ball park for draw length. Draw weight is the amount of weight you need to get the bow to full draw. This is more of trial and error/what you feel most comfortable with. With this bow you have the flexibility of adjustably to fine tune it to your needs. Best, Bruce

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.

The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

Unstrung is 63 inches tall and strung is 61 1/2 inches tall. My husband loves this bow he says it's a perfect combination of a long bow and a medevil recurve bow. He says he feels like a dragon slayer with this bow. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

My sister shoots compound bow at 45 lbs. I wouldnt think there would be a difference and you'd be good to go, but that may be a manufacturer question or an archery tech.

I've always gone by spine number. The lower the number the stiffer the arrow. Heavier the draw weight of your bow, the stiffer the arrow you need to shoot. A lite draw weight bow can shoot a stiff arrow but a heavy draw weight bow can splinter a less stiff arrow. The 55/70 has a spine numbed of 400 (according to the description). That would be fine for a 55lb pull bow or lighter, but would be minimum stiffness for a 70lb pull bow. I don't have these arrows so I'm just making an assumption that 55/70 is an attempt at telling you what weight bow they should work with. I guess Robert doesn't know what numbers mean ether. He gave a kind of a crappy answer.

I'm not sure if the 28" fiberglass arrows would be good for a long bow. My knowledge of archery equipment is very limited. I sent those arrows to my son who is shooting them with an old 35 pound fiberglass bow. I think the bow is a cross between a re curve and a long bow. I wouldn't use them with a heavier bow because they are a low velocity arrow for low draw weight bows. A guy I work with, who knows about these things, said if you used those arrows with a compound bow with a 60# draw they would shatter while going through the arrow guide and possibly cause an injury. My son says they work good with his bow but could be a couple inches longer. I'm not sure if the 28" fiberglass arrows would be good for a long bow. My knowledge of archery equipment is very limited.
