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.

Absolutely. I'm 6'5 and this bow is just a tad short on the draw length for me (I need a 30" draw; the bow is 29" draw max). Measure your draw length in order to be certain, but I am pretty sure this bow will work just fine for you.

I would pass on this if you really want to get into archery. I bought this for my girlfriend so she could loose some arrows with me. If I were you I would head down to Bass pro or a local archery store and talk with someone that knows about it. They will measure you for your draw length as well as help you find what your poundage is. Also they will specially cut arrows for your draw length. Its up to you though, depending on how serious you are about it all.

I ordered them by mistake, the arrows are 28" long and good quality. My bow is a 70# draw tomahawk and shatters theese arrows. The arrows are ment for a youth bow, not mine. They are fine with anything up to a 35# draw in my opinion. Check out three rivers archery.com, they are the experts.

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.

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.

I've only used mine a couple of times and with a shotgun. I'm 6' and believe I could draw my bow without two much trouble. If there were two people inside it would be very hard. Heightwise you might have to duck around a little or stay in the center.

If you're looking specifically at traditional archery (meaning recurve or longbow) I would go to any local sport shop and pick up a bow with a roughly 30pound draw weight. This bow here has the right price but I would say that it's for an advanced shooter with experience with more exotic bows. PSE makes one that's a nice entry level bow to get you started. Outside of the bow you'll need a archery glove, arrows (any cheap target arrow should do) and an armguard. Once you've put a few arrows down range and you feel comfortable it will be time to try out heavier weights and more exotic bows like this one. A word of caution, a bow and arrow even at low draw weights is a deadly weapon and should be treated just like a loaded firearm when drawn. Also never ever ever dry fire (release the string without an arrow) any bow.

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.

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'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.

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.
