Question for Ex-"machine " shooters

[PeteC]

I just took a bow order for a surprise gift of a flatbow .The recipient is a big fella,and I was told he had a 31" draw.My question is; Since he is a compound shooter,what would his draw lenght most likely be with traditional equipment? Or,would you tiller to 31" to be safe?  God Bless

I would tiller to 31".. just to be safe.. Alot of guy's that make the change still keep the same form they used with the wheels..

Depends if he shot his compound with fingers or a release. If he used a release, his draw will likely be about 2 inches shorter. If he shot it with his fingers, you better tiller to 31".

I am preety sure he will try and draw it like a compound. I would tiller it out to 31 and then a little further to be sure. He will probably be standing up straight and drawing it to his ear, or close to it.

i allways go 2" shorter on switch from wheels to selfbow.

I shoot 31 with a wheel bow and 29 with a longbow.  I would try to hit the target weight at 29" but I would definitely tiller to 31 just to make sure it doesn't get overdrawn.  It would be nice if you could teach him a little about anchor points before he draws.

Thanks a lot fellas.Everyone seems to be on the same page pretty much,so that's what I'll do,hit weight at 29" and tiller to 31".Thanks again .  God Bless
