Title: Need help finding bow for LONG draw lenght.
Post by: Aunty on September 25, 2013, 05:30:00 PM
I was talking to a guy who is interested in archery/bowhunting and wants to buy a trad bow, the problem is his drawleght is 33 inches. Does anyone know of any bows that are made to this draw lenght ? The only bow that will work for him at the moment is a bow with training wheels.
Any help would be golden, cheers.

Draw might change a bit when he drops the wheels. That said I would probably go with a long recurve and ask the bowyer. You will probably be surprised at how many will handle a long draw these days.

There's lots of possibilities.  The Long Blacktail recurve makes it 66".  I have a 68" Leon Stewart longbow which I draw to my 32" w/o problems..  Border Black Douglas with the long riser and long  limbs can make it 64-66".

Toelke SS 64" recurve(one piece), or a Toelke Whip in 64" or 66". I draw 32" with a 62" Whip.

Bear Takedown, B riser with #3 limbs  would be a 64" bow.   Also, some ILF bows that are 'target' bows can easily be converted to hunt with.  The Hoyt Excel comes to mind and depending on limbs, can be quiet inexpensive.
