Title: Darton Kids Bow String Length
Post by: 69RECURVE on May 11, 2013, 12:13:00 PM

You string guys I need some help. I just picked up a Darton Kids bow and need to know what length to get a string for it. The bow measures 46" from tip to tip. No mention of weight whatsoever.

Heck I might even ask you to make me one thanks.

Are you measuring along the curvature of the limbs?

No from tip to tip straight across.

measure along the curvature of the limbs and subtract 4 inches from that number. That will be the string length you need.
