I have a Crossman ABY215 recurve, with "custom string." To get a replacement, which string should I get? Measures '45" tip to tip'. 20lb 25"max draw

If there is no AMO string length on the bow, then you can start with the tip to tip (unstrung) as a "pretty close" length. If the old string is intact, it will probably have stretched if it's not a fast-flight string, so go a 1/2" or so shorter. The AMO string will measure about 4" shorter than what the package says. I have a bunch of Bill Stewart recurves with the "multicam" wrinkle in them and found the string length needed when not listed is very close to the tip to tip measurement, keeping in mind the Stewart limbs have a more radical curve at the tip. Base height when strung should be around 6-3/4" to 7-1/2" ( distance from innermost section of grip to string). May want to go a bit long and then twist the string to get dialed in, string should have some twists anyway and if it is well waxed the twists tend to "set".

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.

what i know of all the nock sizes are the same so u should be fine, just check the draw length of your bow before the arrow is to long or to short.

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

Hi,I understand the question but I recommend speaking to whoever is going to sell you the string about this. A major sports supermarket has qualified technicians who can give you free advice on the string type and tension (mine was medium) . Hope this helps.

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

I had mine custom cut when I ordered it. Be sure that you have it cut the correct height for you personally. Perhaps someone with a saw can cut it for you. Just remove the tip, cut the necessary amount off, replace the tip and you're good to go.

The razor tip has a trocar tip like the muzzy. If you are only hunting deer the ss works great. And you can get the ss in a 2" cut. They both work great. I have used them for 3 years now. They recommend a 65# bow for best deployment. But I shoot a Parker 60# and they have never failed me. Hope this helps. Have a safe season and good luck.

depends on your draw length. i have a long draw length (this bow is just under my draw length by about an inch) so i need a longer arrow. i have a draw length of 32" so i use a 32" arrow. hope this helps.

29 pounds is the max but depending on draw length it could be less. 29 pounds is peak draw for 24 inch draw. Smaller draw length have lower peak weights.

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.

You can buy field tips. Also if you shoot at wood you can destroy the arrow. A target would be your best bet. You can pick one up for around $20.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

It has a 15 inch draw. The string sits 10 inches off the bow and the max draw is 15 inches. My 6 year old an handle it perfectly however he is 4'6 and weighs 83lbs

I bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

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.

When I purchased mine in February, I ordered a 55# bow - and received a 55# bow. Mine, however, was sold by Amazon itself. The best thing I can suggest is find one listed expressly as being sold by Amazon - or one whose description does not contradict the title of the add. A lot of folks ordering archery products have received only a portion of what they thought they were ordering, when it came from a seller other than Amazon. If you're not specifically set on a black bow, Amazon is selling several camo'ed ones at 55#, for $199.99
