There is no single answer to the question of how long your compound bow string should be. However, the measurement of bow string length is integral to archery. It allows archers to get the most accurate shots possible. That’s why you must know how to measure compound bow string length!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it is up to the archer to decide which method works best for them. So, be sure to take the time to measure your bowstring length accurately, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a better shot!<\/p>\n

Measure Your Compound Bow String Length In 2 Methods<\/h2>\n

You may determine the length of a compound bow string in one of two ways. One is the “AMO Method,” while the other is the “manual way.” Check them out:<\/p>\n

Method 1:<\/span> Manually<\/h3>\n

First, let’s try doing it by hand. Manually gauging the length of a compound bow’s string is more complex than with a recurve. To do the math, you need to know a secret.<\/p>\n

The length of a compound bow string is determined as the bow is being stretched.<\/p>\n

The conventional method for attaining such a state is producing a strain of 100 lbs. by putting loops around the 14 inches diameter pin on the Top limbs. A bow press is a helpful instrument for this purpose.<\/p>\n

The dimensions are shown as the distance between the pins.<\/p>\n

These are the most straightforward steps if you want to determine string length for your compound bow.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> The bow press is where you’ll put your compound bow.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Bow and push it down with 100 pounds of pressure.<\/p>\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Put a dot on the string to indicate where it should be cut.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> It’s time to take some measurements.<\/p>\n

You may consider that problem solved.<\/p>\n

Method 2:<\/span> AMO Method<\/h3>\n

This measurement system is likely more convenient than traditional methods. Although this technique of measuring a compound bow is not quite as simple as the previous one, it is still significantly more superficial than the recurve approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The most significant difficulty with this technique is that compound bows<\/a> don’t often have the AMO Length clearly defined. Let’s figure out how to use this method of measuring length.<\/p>\n
