Long Bow
How long should a recurve bow draw string be for a 62" bow?
Currently I have a 58" draw string that is obviously too long? Is there any sort of rule of thumb to determine this?
The standard used on recurve bows is a string that when with bow is "strung up" the measurement from the string to the back of the arrow shelf (riser) is 7 1/2". You can always take your bow to a local Pro-shop or even Dick's ,Bass Pro Shops, or Sports Authority. If you buy the string there they will check the distance I refer to and verify you have the correct string.

NOTE ### Bowstrings have a tendency to streatch a little once mounted and used. Improper fit will cause you to shoot lousy.
