string?
 

i just bought me a new recurve. it is 60 inches long but it didnt come with a string so i was wondering if any string would fit it or do i have to get a certain size? thanks, travis

RE: string?
 

travis you will need a 67" string, you can order a string from www.tradtalk.com go to the store and order the moutian muffler string, 2 strand dacron or D-97 depending on what your bow will take. you can pick your colors and everything, if you are not sure call Papa Bull and he will talk you thru it, best string on the market and quiet.

57" string

RE: string?
 

Depends on the bow. 57" should work, if the bow meets AMO specs, but lots don't. What brand is it?

I meant 57" I always go 3 " shorter no matter the bow, I can attest to Chad's strings best one Ive ever put on my bows, he made one 4 years ago at the TN classic and it still shoots!!!!
He can do padded loops also

Thanks for the good word Dale. For the bows I shoot 3" shorter works, but over the years I've seen recurves get strings anywhere from 2.5" shorter to 6" shorter, longbows that got strings 2" shorter to 5" shorter. I don't like to put an extreme amount of twist in my string to make it fit--works better if it's made the right length to start.
