The riser is the heavier piece in the middle that has the grip for your hand. The limbs are then on the top and bottom. By changing limbs on my Constitution I can change the draw weight from 35 to 70 pounds and anything in between. The longbow is a different story!

As far as your string goes for your Bear it shouldn't be a big issue. Might cost more than the bow is worth... That is to someone else. If you have a history with it I would certainly get a new string. String makers have charts of what is needed for most anything. PM me if you are interested and I will try to point you in the right direction.
