Will long draw length cause me problems?

<< < (2/2)

mullet:
    30.5", that's all? You'll be alright, just tiller the bow for a little longer length, use Osage, Hickory or back it. If it is really that long, you can build a bow to fit.

Hickoryswitch:
My draw was 30" with compounds now it's about 27". The straight up and locked position is much harder to do with trad. bows. You seem to step into the shot more. Which causes your draw length to become shorter.

stevecpa66:
Thanks for all the info regarding the difference in form.

Maybe I should get some shooting DVD's before I purchase a bow building DVD.

Any recommendations that have helped you?

G Fred Asbell's book "Instinctive Shooting" is what I learned from.  I believe Byron Ferguson has a book on his style of shooting also.     Pat

i never read anything about shooting anything.
i was taught when i w as younf kid by and uncle,never touched a bow for about 15 yrs,bought my wheel bow,got tired of that and came back to this
and learning to reshoot trad was easy enough for me.just like anything else it really just takes practice.
differant things work for differant folk.

personalli iw ould get both videos,start watching the bow making one first,then start making a bow.by time your done maing the bow you would of had enough time to watch the shooting technique video enough to feel comfortable enough to shoot your new hand made bow ;) ;D

good luck.
