Gonna order a new one. How long does it need to be? Any recommendations? My bow is 62 amo if that helps and is 45# @ 28 inches. I also need a new arrow rest since mine broke today. It had a Hoyt on it. Also does anybody know what those rubber things that go on the string are that are formed to your fingers if you don't want to shoot a tab?

The longer it is the more forgiving it is. Most people shoot off the shelf. They are called finger slicks but you would be better off shooting a good tab

The length of your draw can help in determining the length of the bow. If you have a draw length of 28 inches, then a recurve that is 56 inches long may cause you some serious finger pinch due to the string being at such a steep angle when at full draw.
I draw 25 inches and used to shoot a 56 inch recurve. I now shoot a 62 inch recurve. Yes it is more forgiving but if you can get away with a shorter bow then I would do it as it will be easier to shoot form a tree stand or from a kneeling or sitting position.

What is your draw length?

Sorry abram I meant order a new string for my bow.

58" string. Also the things on the string you are referring to are called finger savers. Look up the website for 3 rivers archery ,you can get everything you need. I'd advise you to get a tab or shooting glove though unless your bow fishing. A good glove will last years
