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.

Jonathan, 60 pounds might be the draw weight that you are looking for but 60 inches ('') would be one large bow. If you are looking for your draw length, then measure your wingspan and divide it by 2.5. This should get you in the ball park for draw length. Draw weight is the amount of weight you need to get the bow to full draw. This is more of trial and error/what you feel most comfortable with. With this bow you have the flexibility of adjustably to fine tune it to your needs. Best, Bruce

No. Get a starter bow that fits your draw length. This bow is not a good option for an adult. I ordered it based on the price and the normally great brand name, but returned it immediately.

Yes, I would. Want to add if you do order just specify which draw weight you want. I ordered the 50 but got the 30. However the company's customer service is great and quickly sent me the 50 arms and string. Also, if you have a local archery shop it's not a bad idea to stop by there and check too. I saw a real nice recurve at mine for only $49.99. So there are more options but I've found less online. Hope that helps some & good luck!

It has a 15 inch draw. The string sits 10 inches off the bow and the max draw is 15 inches. My 6 year old an handle it perfectly however he is 4'6 and weighs 83lbs

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

Most arrows are 32-34" uncut. Your draw length does not reflect the length of arrow actually used. I shoot with a 29" draw length but my arrows are cut to 28.5" from the nock channel so these should be fine for you.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.

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

It's a long bow. It's not a bear-killer. It falls slightly above the kid category, and slightly less than a good solid long bow. But it's light and you could use it for hunting game up to the size of a deer perhaps. I wouldn't try a shot on one past sixty or seventy feet, though. Maybe twenty pound draw is all. I took a shot with it once on a throwaway arrow and the arrow went about 150' high and arced down cleanly into a canyon. I would say it makes a good bow for a kid, or for a campsite bow, or for light hunting if you can get in fairly close. For the money I was happy.

I cut my arrows an inch longer than my draw length, I have a 26.5" draw length (I stand 5'5"), so I cut my arrows at 27.5"
1163755
The weight is measured at 28" draw for all and I draw 31.5' on the 62". Being instutional bows, they have a wide draw range. Call Bear if it's a concern.

I have the Hoyt Spider 34 long draw and it fits great. If you compare the two bow specs it should be close.

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

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

My brother-in-law is 6' 4 1/2" and has the same crossbow. He has no problem with it and simply moves the scope forward on the base mount which has several Weaver type slots for doing so. As far as length of pull, wearing typical hunting clothes generally extends the length of pull or you can add a slip-on recoil pad, the same as is used on rifles, to extend the length of pull! Yes, this cross bow is for anyone of any size with simple adjustments or add-on modifications!
