Draw question

My bow is a 30.5" draw. I think I'm actually a 31 which I don't see very many used bows at all for sale at that length. Say I was to buy a used bow with a 28" draw. Can I make it a 31" draw by buying new cams?

Sorry for the newbie question.

    Before you do anything go to a proshop and have your draw length measured. I'm 6' my draw length is 29"

    If you don't have a loop on it you can get another half inch that way. To answer your question, yes you can get different cams just depends on the model ond maker of the bow.

    Steaming has a good point, hit a Pro shop and get fitted. You could end up chaseing your tail trying to adapt to the bow.

    +1 ... 30.5" + .5" "D" loop = 31"

    Some bows you can just move a peg in the cam, some you have to change the cam, and others you have to change the cam and strings to switch the length.
