Are these suitable for a traditional bow? And, how do I know which to get, my bow is 28 inch draw, 32 inch maximum, #38 pound draw at 28 inches.

It works great for a traditional bow, I prefer these on my traditional recurve than my compound bow. Hope this helps

Yes! Since it is feather fletched there will be no problem shooting off the hand or off a shelf. For a 28" draw, you'll want 1816 arrows cut at 28", or, if you'd prefer arrows also capable of a longer draw, 1916 arrows cut at either 29 or 30 inches. It's best to find a consistent anchor point, however, or else accuracy will be seriously affected. I would get the 29" arrows at 1916, in case you ever find yourself wanting a higher draw weight. All you have to do is cut them down an inch to 28" and they'll work for up to a 55lb recurve or longbow.

I use the 1816 with a traditional recurve at 38 lb draw. Get them cut to 29 " and put 100 grain points on. I shoot them off the shelf.

I have 2 traditional recurve bows and I've fired over 60 of these arrows through them. One is 25 #and the other is 45#. They fly straighter than any other arrow I've used so far. Hope this helps

This bow is not for hunting. Most state regulation require at LEAST a 30 lb draw. This bow draw is up to 29lb. This bow is intended for youths. I would say ages 10-12 yr old and younger. Great starter bow if you intend your youngster to continue shooting/hunting as they get older. Which a different bow will need to be purchased.

I'm not sure about your bow. To give you a referance I'm shooting a Hoyt Vector 32. Maybe your bow shop will one or one of equal size. Hope this helps!

Unlike a compound bow this recurve does not have a set draw length. The archer holds all of the weight of the draw with no let off. The poundage rating on the bow is typically rated for a 28 inch draw length. The poundage decreases with shorter draw lengths and increases with longer draw lengths. you do not need to know a draw length to purchase this bow. I do have this bow and love it. If you want to put a fast flight string on it you can do that as well. I called Martin Archery to make sure.

Generally a ten year old would draw 20-22 inches of draw and would be comfortable with a pound pull of under 20 pounds. That means the best poundage bow for your son would be the 24# model. The 24# model is measured at 28 inches of pull therefore at 20-22 inches of draw, that bow would be 15-20 pound pull. These are generalities and you could purchase a heavier model if your son was EXTREMELY stronger than an average 10 year old. Otherwise stick with the 24#.

I bought the bow and thought the same thing. I took my chances and was happy to see #55 written on the bow,witch means the draw weight is 55 pounds. They made a typo you know, it hap ends all the time.

The draw weight means the amount of force needed to draw the string to its,maximum draw length which in this case is 28" I do believe. If the draw weight is 20 lbs then i would have to excert the same amount of force on the string as i would need to lift a 20 lbs weight. Or, if i tied a 20 lbs barbell to the string of the bow, and lifted it by the handle of the bow then i would draw the bow to the,max draw length. Basically you'd have to pull with 20 lbs of force on the string to draw the bow fully.

"Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." The draw weight of the bow in question is: 15 to 20 pounds. Draw length: 15 to 20 inches.The bow features durable composite limb and riser construction and measures 26 inches from axle to axle. Constructed of fiberglass, the Safetyglass arrows offer high flexing qualities and will not splinter. My guess is yes, you can use these arrows, since they come with the bow. I guess you would get the 26" arrows. The description is a little vague, but I notice that these arrows are commonly purchased together with the bow in question. The final question is what length of arrow do you get? 26" seems a safe bet. Or higher, 28" to 30" since "Arrow spine weight must match or be higher than bow weight." i would buy the bow and see what arrows come with it before ordering more, or else contact the company directly and ask them, since the info does not appear to be on Amazon.

You'll need a 56 in since your bow is 60 in. I have this bow. Basic rule on this type is 4 in shorter than the full length of bow. Have fun!

After looking at several states regulations on bow hunting, the average draw is 35-45 lbs. This crossbow has 175 lbs of draw. I'm sure it will take a deer with no problems. HOWEVER- do consult your state's regulations on using crossbows for big game hunting. Most states allow you to hunt with a crossbow during rifle season but not bow season. Depends on the state and check the regs before going.

I prefer a 30 inch arrow. Easton makes several that are great for this bow.

Depends on his build and strength. Suggest you ask whoever gives him lessons... if they are not available, take him to a Bow shop and have them make a suggestion on draw weight. It is better to err on the side of getting a lighter draw rather than a draw that is too heavy.
