What's the draw length? I'm a very tall guy with a draw length of 40", is this bow for me?

This is a really fine bow for the price. I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it. But you have a very long draw length and this bow might be a bit too small for you.

No, a 40" draw is pretty unusual. You would probably do better with a larger bow. The Mohegan bow from greatreearchery comes in a 68 inch model for the same price range. They are a little harder to find in 68". I would try andoverarchery and call and ask them.

No, you need a larger bow. Try to find a 70 inch bow. You may have to upgrade a bit to find one. As Tim told you, a Mohegan comes in 68 but I would try to find a 70". Try landcaster.com, they have them. You can chat with them online. They have all price ranges.

the overall height of the bow is to short for an adult. Look for something atleast 50" tall but most adult are more comfortable in a 60" + bow. As for weight of the pull, this has a good range for a beginning adult. 15lb would be ideal for learning good form while building up the muscles used to shoot.

Mine was perfect right out of the box. I literally put it together and shot it at ten yards in the bullseye. 20,30,40 yards same thing. No adjustments necessary. It has a spot for 50 yards but the bow is loud so 40 is my max.

The limbs on take down bows like the bullseye can be replaced with longer limbs that increase the draw weight. I believe the longest are 62" with a 30lb pull.

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!

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

Hi, I do not shoot my regular bow at 60 to 70 yards. I have not tried the recruit at this range either. I can tell you at 30 to 40 yards it is fantastic and certainly all you need in a nice small easily manageable package. Good luck.

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

I'm sorry, I can't really answer that as I can't judge your strength. http://www.beararcheryproducts.com/bows/youth/bullseye tells the draw weight at 28".Good luck.

The draw length can be adjusted from 27-29, so you should be good, but I would get your draw length sized beforehand to ensure a proper fit.

Hello,I have a recurve bow from 1972 60" the string seems to fit tight enough, though I have not had the time to actually take it to a range and test it. It is worth the "try" you can always return the string. I could not find anything even at Cabela's so I ordered from Amazon.

This bow would only work for a man if he were small in stature. Say..5 foot and under. The reason for this is that while the draw length is very adjustable, it only goes so far. I am 6' 1" tall so this bow is like a toy to me and can't be adjusted even close enough for me to shoot it. My 5' 2" daughter fires the bow well though and will be hunting with it soon.

I'm a novice but there is a let off when you draw. I don't know what that amount is but I have no problem keeping the bow drawn, currently set around 42#. A google search says 75%.

I would think that an adult should not have a problem with draw length. With that said a shorter adult would need to compensate a shorter draw length with strength to pull up higher.

I can't honestly answer this question. What I will say is that this bow is 5' tall unstrung and almost exactly your height strung. My intuition says that it's not the correct size but I'm not an expert. I would suggest going to your local sporting goods store and asking.

no it is not,,as an adult's draw back length is longer than a youth,,your best bet is to go to a sportsmans center and have your draw length measured,,the limbs on this bow may explode if pulled back too many times by an adult as you are exceeding it's max draw length
