Check this site out http://www.nationalarcherysupply.com/ For bows in your draw length or go to Boormans i think they are in abbotsferd someone else on here can tell exactly where they are. But get some help or you buy a bow you don`t like .

Head on over to Specialty Shooting Sports at #6 - 20555 56th Ave Langley
604 533 9290. Mike or Rhonda will take care of you for sure. Mike is an archer himself and an accomplished hunter to boot. Tell him that Dan from Victoria sent you.

Nothing against Boormans in New Westminster (6th Ave) but they are heavy into target archery. I mean Heavy. Chuck is a recognized national level coach and has competed with Ron Boorman at Vegas many times in the past.

I'll second what Bowwalker says for Specialty, they are the guys I usually deal with. Mike knows his gear, and Rhonda is a gem! Boormans was good, haven't been there for awhile.

I shoot a Hoyt Cybertech. I am 6'4" as well and my draw length is set at 30.5", and can go as far as 31". The draw length was a factor when I purchased mine as well. Pretty sure they dont make the Cybertech now but many hoyts have a variable draw length from 27ish-31" from what I remember, wich is why I chose Hoyt. I have absolutely no complaints with my bow, it is awesome.

Good luck.

Outdoorsman,I have a Martin M-41 Cougar Speed Flite that I could possibly sell you.It is an older one,but is in good shape.Peak weight 55-70,65% let-off,draw length 30", don't know if it can go any longer.If your just getting back into bow shooting this might be a start for awhile anyways.225.00 if your interested.
