To get close to the correct size you need the measurement from tip to tip, yours is 66 inches. Take the tip-to-tip measurement and subtract 4 inches for a string length of 62-inch string. This will get you close, for the string length needs to be changed by adding or subtracting twist to get the correct brace height. The brace height is the measurement from the handle to the string. The bow manufactures sets the specifications for brace height. If brace height is unknown and pull weight is known you and twist or untwist the string to get the correct pull weight at 28-inch draw.



By Cupidsgatearchery: Almost all recurve manufacturers made their bow that would require a string 4 inches shorter than the stated bow length, except when Hoyt riser is used which would require a string 3 inches shorter than the stated bow length instead.

What do the sizes of an archery arrow mean like 1716 1816 and 1913?

The first 2 numbers specify the diameter of the shaft in 64ths of an inch. The last 2 numbers specify the wall thickness of the shaft in thousands of an inch. For example size 1816 means the outside diameter is 18/64ths of an inch and the wall thickness is 16/1000th of an inch. Each size has a different stiffness which needs to be matched to the bow's draw weight and the length of the arrow. For example, a 50# Recurve @ 30" would require a 2117 shaft (or similar) while a 30# Recurve @ 26" could use something weaker such as a 1816 (or similar).
