AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, THE ACTUAL LENGTH OF STRING NEEDED FOR A RECURVE OR LONGBOW WILL BE 3″ SHORTER THAN THE AMO LENGTH OF THE BOW THAT IS OFTEN STAMPED ON THE BOW WITH THE POUNDAGE AND DRAW LENGTH. WITH THAT SAID, THE AMO STANDARDS AREN’T ALWAYS FOLLOWED. IF YOUR BOW DOES NOT HAVE A STRING OR YOU WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE MEASUREMENT, MEASURE THE BOW UNSTRUNG BY MEASURING FROM STRING GROOVE TO STRING GROOVE, FOLLOWING THE CURVE OF THE LIMBS AND ALONG THE BELLY OF THE BOW.
Bow strings are measured at the industry standard of 100lbs of tension. If you’re measuring hand tight, the bow string will measure up to 1″ shorter depending on the string material. Keep in mind returns are not accepted on custom orders if you order the incorrect length. Please contact us with any questions prior to ordering.
