Title: boo backed bow draw length? handle length?
Post by: Colt45 on March 16, 2009, 07:11:38 pm

Hi I'm new to this and this is my first backed bow... The bow is Juniper with a very thin boo backing (1/8" about) it's 46 1/2" in length what do you suggest for the draw length? Also the handle look a little big at 6" should I make it a little smaller? The bow isn't yet tillered.

Thanks  ;D

First off if your new you shouldn't be trying to push the envelope so much.46" bow for anyone is pushing the limits.
With a 6" rigid handle I would say max DL of 20" with 18" being a better choice.

I don't want a six inch handle haha I'm going to shorten it. And I have skeptical help  ;D I'm just hoping it'll work out. I won't be too surprised if it doesn't.
