for those of you that are reading this your draw length is measured by arm length wide open finger tip to finger tip. then it is divided by 2.5

This will get you "in the ballpark" alright. Then it's time to fine tune for complete comfort, repeatability, and accuracy.

[jessbennett]

found it to be fairly accurate. its bang on the money for me.

[Bow Walker]

My 'fine tuning' was only .5" - but it was critical to a good, comfortable shooting form - for me, that is.

I was too long and was getting a sore back/neck after a couple hours. Gone now.

Sorry for reviving an old thread. Ive been bow hunting for years but know supprisingly little about the tech side. Anyways I am buying a new bow and am wondering if draw length is adustable or is what you get what you get. Also How can I tell what my current bow draw length is set at. Thanks

depends on which bow you buy. theres some adjustable and others that are draw length specific.

[Bowzone_Mikey]

yep ... some bome bows (like the new Bowtechs) have up to 6 or 7 inches of travel ...others have around 3 ..some have no travel at all

Reviving an olde thread? The only threads that get olde are the ones that todbartell and gatehouse frequent. :lol:

What bow are you getting? It will tell you, in the specs for the bow, what the draw length parameters are. As has been said - some are very adjustable, some not so much. Usually there is about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch adjustment, but that's about all. Most bows these days (new ones) are pretty much "draw-length-specific".

I am after a Bear the truth 2. We've been talking about it in another thread. I am currently shooting a Champion Stratus. I shot the Bear not so long ago and fell in love with it. Ive done some more research and as far as I can tell its got a good 6 inches of adjustment. The reason I was asking is because of the different draw lengths Cabelas.ca is selling the bow in. If its adjustable why do they list the different lengths?

[Bow Walker]

When a bow is that adjustable they (Cabelas) are most probably listing the different DLs just to let the un-educated know that it comes in a variety of DLs.

Tha is one sweet bow!

Why give your hard earned money to the USA, go to the" National Archery" web site and see all the choices they have there, good selection.That's where I get most of my stuff.
Oh ya, the bear looks like a nice bow, never shot one tho.

[Bigbear]

National Archery Is A Sub of Heartland Archery which is a US company , so your hard earned Money still goes to the US.

Forget all those wheels and pulleys and complicated technical crap that will just break and let you down in the field on hards hunts... go for a recurve or longbow... don't even have to think about draw length, or finicky releases, fall-a-way rests, peep sights, fiber-optic things, and the gear boys ultimate play toy - the doinker!!! :p:p

Just use the force grasshopper!! :cool:
