Archery question.

*The Archery Trade Association (ATA) specifies that a Traditional Bowstring should be labeled and sold by the length of the bow not the bowstring length itself. A 60" Bowstring is for a 60" bow, not the length of the bowstring. A Traditional bow is measured from string groove to string groove around the curve of the bows limbs, not directly from tip to tip. This measurement does not go into the curve of the handle but across the face of the bow limbs from string groove to string grove. This will give you the approximate length of the bow. *

So 62" is your AMO (er, ATA nowadays) bow length. When you need a new string just tell the guy at the shop you’ve got a 62" recurve.

Looks to be in really nice condition in the photos. Take care of it.

Thanks for all the good info. To everyone. I’m going to string it right now (soon as I put a pair of boots on). It is a beautiful bow.
