Title: Stick size
Post by: poindexter on August 20, 2007, 12:45:00 AM
Gentlemen:
Been shootin for a long time but just decired to go back to trad shooting after shooting with four trad shooters at the last 3D.I do need some help here. I'm sure this is gonna open up the worm can but what is the best length to start with, I see bows anywhere from 58" to 68", I'm kinda leaning toward 68" thinking that this would be more forgiving, would appreciate some feedback
Thanks.


Dale

It just Depends on What Your True Drawlength Is, and How Comfortable It Shoots, as well as Comfy In Your Hand. Just My 2 Cents of Course.  :wavey:

60" for recurve, 64" for longbow.  I draw 27".

Are you looking for a 3D bow and that is all you plan on using that one for? Do you want to hunt with it also? If so what kind of terrain do you hunt? Are you a treestand hunter? What's your draw length, grip preference and shooting style? Lots of variables in making a bow choice and length is just one consideration.
