QUESTION ABOUT A BOW

[lesken2011]

I'm 6'3" and have a 27" draw. A lot depends on your anchor and shooting style. If you a dealing with a new shooter, their anchor may change over time....mine did. I used to draw 28-29 in.  I would make him a very long bow with as long a draw length as possible, make him some 32 in arrows and monitor him over a few weeks of shooting. Once he has established a shooting style and consistent anchor, you can make changes in arrow length and spine. IMHO

Better check for sure and I mean actually measure. I got roped into building bows for a friend and his son.  My friend is 6'1" and draws 35".  His son is 6'3" and draws 36".  It's a challenge making bows for them.  Josh

Yeah right!
35"  My pet Orangutang can't even draw 35"

Are you calling me a liar Del?

it all depends on their build, long arms thick upper body or thin and wirey, a thin guy with long arms has a long draw, measure it out, Bub

Nope.
Just saying that many people (almost all, in my experience) think they draw further than they actually do in practice.
The rest is what we call 'humour' in the UK.
No offense intended.

LOL

[Josh B]

No offense taken Del.  As it turns out, you were correct on all points.    I don't think he is drawing a bit over 33" if even that. I made the bow and arrow. The arrow is 35 1/2" long. What say you?  Josh

[bubby]

look's like 33" to me Josh, Bub

OMG!

The funny thing about us humans, is that our wingspan is amost always about equal to our height.  You can have wide shoulders and short arms, or narrow shoulders and long arms, but the measurments tend to add up to your height in the end.

Doc, it looks to me like your customer anchors on the back of his jawline, plus he has a pretty straight up stance.  I've always anchored with the tip of my index finger at the corner of my mouth.
