How to order
Step 1 - Choose your bow length. Your string will be 3" shorter than the overall bow length. Here's more info on figuring out your bow length.
66" bow
25" riser + short limbs
23" riser + medium limbs
21" riser + long limbs
68" bow
25" riser + medium limbs (most common)
23" riser + long limbs
70" bow
25" riser + long limbs
If you are unsure of your bow length you can include the bow specs in the "Other info" box and we can help figure out the length.
Step 2 - Shooting style is the category in which you complete.
Olympic Recurve - Recurve bow with sight, stabilizers, and possibly a clicker
Barebow - Recurve bow with no sight, stabilizers or clicker
Longbow/Traditional - Longbows and some recurves, often made of wood and sometimes using no attached arrow rest and shooting "off the shelf"
Other details - If your shooting style doesn't fit in the above categories choose "Other" and provide details in the "Other info" box
Step 3 - Specify the nocks that will be used on the end of the arrows with your bow and include that info in the "Other info" box. Nock fit is very important for safety and performance reasons. If you need help figuring out which nocks you have, check out our guide or reach out for further assistance.
