What kind of bowstrings do I need?

Question

Hi. I found a bow at a garage sell recently and I don't know much about bows so I was wondering if anyone could help me decide what kind of bow string I needed and where I could find them. The bow is wooden and I'm pretty certain it's a recurve bow. Under the brand of the bow (coet) there are the markings 707-62". On the side near the grip of the bow there are the markings 07-33565 and under that 45xx-28".

Answer 1

you can get strings here

you will need a 59 inch string

the markings mean that your bow is 62 inches long and has a 45 pound draw weight at 28 inches

Answer 2

Like the first poster said, and make sure you order dacron strings unless you're sure that the limb tips are properly reinforced to use fastflight material.
