Had two bows given to me...a Kodiac Special 69 Amp and 43 lb draw and a Jerry Hill long bow also 69 Amp and 50 lb...what type of strings do they take?...don't trust the ones that were on them. The Bear looks like the tips are reinforced...made in the 70's ?...Thanks! Thinking B 50 because of age.

That's a 1964 (pre-AMO) Kodiak Special with fiberglass tip overlays. Try a B50 Dacron or a low -stretch with padded loops, e.g. BCYX .

Measure the bows along the belly for true length as they are pre AMO.
I concur with mangonboat's recommendation... .

B50 or B55, 12 strands for 42#, 14 for 50# would be a reasonable choice. The most usual choice might be 15 strands for both. I would probably do 15 because I am used to it and any difference in performance would be small. - lbg

I think it is likely within spec and that it may get lower as the string settles under load. Then I would twist it up and down to find the quietest brace height. Noise is wasted energy that did not go into the arrow. Listen to your bow, it will tell you what it likes. - lbg
