Title: short draw ?
Post by: scottm on May 14, 2010, 09:44:00 PM
Ive been looking for a recurve bow for my wife she just started shooting.She is 5'1" tall, left handed with a 22-23" draw.My question is if we were to fined her a bow that was tillered to 45#'s @ 28" (which would put it at approx.27# at her draw) would this bow perform as well as a bow tillered to 27#@ her draw length.Thanks, Scott

Get arrows that are spined right for that poundage and she should be fine.My son draws 21" and he is always shooting 1 of my recurves with his arrows and it performs good for him.

The 45* @ 28"  bow will be close to 32* - 35* at 22" - 23" draw roughly, but I agree with Stickbowmaniac in that a arrow that is spined right for the bow weight she will be shooting will shoot pretty amazing for her.
