Draw lenth question .

buckeyboy

I guy I work with bow hunts too. he has an older proline bow and is now looking to up grade. I called my mathews dealer and asked him what he had. he said not much cant keep em on the shelf. the guy is 6 feet 2" tall and I set that grizzly bow I have at 30 inch draw and it was still very short for him. here is the delima there are very few mathews bows that go past 30 " draw and my dealer insist he must be doing somthing wrong but I watched him draw at 30 and it's way too short anyone have any input?????

Have him measured [:D]. The only one, I think, that goes over 30 in mathews is the Ovation. I've been wrong before, you can ask my wife.

Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.

there are a few but they are more 3d or target bows.

gagirl

yes Bang you are right the Ovation does goto 32".

its all about pucks and bucks

don't quote me on it, but i think the Q2XL goes past 30". it is an older model bow and i'm not sure if they even make it anymore. a fella i knew was 6'4" and it fit him.

another quick thought. is he pulling the bow back the same way he will when he shoots? example: is he pulling it back with fingers when he actually shoots with a release? a release will add an inch or two of comfort in there. just a thought.

39 and counting.... deer that is.

just might have to go with a hoyt. [:p] Most of the bows will go past 32 and up to 33 with the right limbs.

BOWTECH! 5 Bows 30" AND UP!!!!!![;)]
Yea have him sized up and will have a much better Bow no matter the brand. The right lenghth will be the key to the best preformance. (BOW AND SHOOTER)

A LOT of people have bows with draw lengths too long for them. At six foot tall I shoot 28 1/2 inches. Have him measured at a PRO SHOP.

How is he holding the bow? The natural position should be with your elbow slightly bent like your raising a beer for a toast. The Ovation is a great bow, it's basically an Outback with a longer riser.

I would send him to a pro shop and have him fitted to a bow that suits him, wether it be a hoyt, bow tech or them over priced mathews...just kidding mathews shooters.. I am 6ft 3in and shoot 29 in draw length on my scepter 2.

Looks like hes draw ok too me but he does not slightly bend his arm and wont change thet so I sent him to the bow shop so he can shoot several and get fitted properly. thanks for all the responses.[;)]
