I just took a bow order for a surprise gift of a flatbow .The recipient is a big fella,and I was told he had a 31" draw.My question is; Since he is a compound shooter,what would his draw lenght most likely be with traditional equipment? Or,would you tiller to 31" to be safe? God Bless
-
I would tiller to 31".. just to be safe.. ;) Alot of guy's that make the change still keep the same form they used with the wheels..
-
Depends if he shot his compound with fingers or a release. If he used a release, his draw will likely be about 2 inches shorter. If he shot it with his fingers, you better tiller to 31".
-
I am preety sure he will try and draw it like a compound. I would tiller it out to 31 and then a little further to be sure. He will probably be standing up straight and drawing it to his ear, or close to it.
-
i allways go 2" shorter on switch from wheels to selfbow.
-
I shoot 31 with a wheel bow and 29 with a longbow. I would try to hit the target weight at 29" but I would definitely tiller to 31 just to make sure it doesn't get overdrawn. It would be nice if you could teach him a little about anchor points before he draws.

Thanks a lot fellas.Everyone seems to be on the same page pretty much,so that's what I'll do,hit weight at 29" and tiller to 31".Thanks again . God Bless
