Question 1

Can I put the string and arrows in the riser?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. 3 full arrows fit well, but 5 rear halves can fit in the riser with 5 front halves next to the bow in its carry bag. You can ether store the string and other small or flat accessories inside the flap of the bag which has a small compartment. Not that when you shoot the bow you must remove the storage end caps so you cannot shoot with stuff stored in the riser.

Question 2

Is the recon better than the tactical for a taller person or does it not matter

Accepted Answer

The Recon may be slightly better as it is a longer bow, but both have a maximum draw length of 31" so either can be used so long as your draw length is 31" or under. The Recon was designed for those who didn't want to do any assembly other than string the bow, but didn't mind a slightly longer packed length. The Tactical was designed to fit into really small bags so removing one hand tightened screw and pin and reversing the one folding bracket is required during assembly. It take about 15 seconds which shouldn't matter to anyone who knows how to hunt as you never see an animal set up your bow and hunt it. You always prep your equipment and then go out on the hunt.

Question 3

What arrows would you recommend for the 50# with a 28" draw?

Accepted Answer

You need to keep in mind the intended purpose of the bow.  It is a survival bow, not an everyday hunting or fishing bow.  Any arrow you use, you should think in terms of arrow strength and durability for multiple use and easy of carry/storage.  The same thing goes for the arrow heads/tips.  I use the TIGER ARCHERY 30" Carbon Arrows.  They are inexpensive and durable.  The only issue is the nocks come off easily.

Question 4

How long is the bowstring? Thanks!

It depends on the size of the bow.
