Short draw

<< < (2/3) > >>

half eye:
hey Will,  tiller for your draw. You can make the arrows length "draw to the head" if you are going to insist on letting other people shoot the bow. I dont consider 23-24 inch draw as "short" per-see. The AMO decided that 28" was standard, and just maybe if ya shoot in the upright, closed stance, English style. Here is the catch though, not everybody shoots like that.

Make what ya like to shoot, not what everybody else likes to shoot. Set one of them 28+ inch draws dudes down against a tree on his fanny and see how much they draw........just a guess mind, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be shorter. Just one old mans opinion though

Will Tell:
I've let others look at my self bows because they were curious but always tell them not to pull them because of my short draw. I missed a Gobler sitting flat on my butt at ten yards, shot right between his legs. That will shorten your draw length for sure.lol :G

PEARL DRUMS:
Lots of things will shorten you up, but I always build to a solid, full draw. Mine will vary from 27-28.5 depending on my situation. Like sitting, twisted around, hunched over, upright, uphill and so on.

High-Desert:
I say make your bows for you. I only hand over my bows unstrung. If you make a bow to shoot at 28", and only draw to 24", you loose a lot of cast vs tiller a bow for 24" and shooting it 24" since a lot less mass is required to make a 24" draw bow

sleek:
Plenty of times i have handed over unstrung bows, only to have the folks look confused at it,  and try to draw nack on the slack string. They usually comment on how strong it is then leave quickly.
