Camo Crossbow
real nice crossbow with no string don’t know manufacture?

I will take it to a bow shop but how can I be sure I am getting good information? Is there some sort of math formula? with my bow relaxed it is 24 9/16” from where the string would rest. measuring from the bow limbs back to where the string is held when cocked is 13 3/4” I took this measurement with the trigger mech cocked obviously no string. The only other dimension I can think to take is the length of the cocking cable used to string and unstring the bow and it is 29”. Don’t know how that could be used except the main string would have to be shorter.
I picked this bow up used with no string and sombody along the way did a camo job on it and I can’t tell the brand make or model. The main thing is saftey I want the correct string and also do not want somebody to make me one custom because they make more money that way, or whatever. Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Without knowing the designed draw weight of the prod, the only method that really works is not safe. All you can do is approximate the pull and hope you don’t go over.

My suggestion would be first, use some turpentine and see if you can find a maker/model under that paint?

My second suggestion would be take it to the shop and ask for a stock string. It’ll cost $5. It’s only a guess, but they’ll be able to guess closer than you or I chatting in text.

My first proper attempt at camo painting a crossbow
