What draw length should my bow be?
Your wingspan typically is the same as your height in inches; So your height in inches minus 15 and then divided by 2 will be your draw length, or at least a very good starting point.
How long should my arrows be for a 27 inch draw?
The arrow must be 29″ in length and supported by two points, which are 28″ apart. The number of inches the arrow deflects or bends due to the weight, is the spine size or measurement of an arrow. DYNAMIC spine describes the way an arrow reacts from the stored energy of a bow as it is shot.
How long should my arrows be for a 28.5 draw?
If you’re a 28-inch draw length and want an arrow that ends at the front of the riser, your arrow length would be around 27 inches. However, your arrow length can be longer if you need to weaken the spine of your arrow. For safety reasons, your arrows shouldn’t be cut too short.
What happens if your arrows are too long?
If you shoot an excessively long arrow, not only will the excess shaft weight result in a heavier and slower flying arrow, but the added length may necessitate changing to an even heavier/stiffer arrow spine.
How long should arrows be for 29 inch draw?
How long should my arrow be for a 29″ draw? Based on our experience, if you are using a 29″ draw with compound bows, the arrow length would be 27.5″ (29″ – 1.5″). This allows the arrow to comfortably fit on the arrow rest, but make sure your riser measurement matches up before buying a bulk amount of arrow.
What does 400 spine arrow mean?
This arrow spine is measured in numbers. The lower the numbers, the thicker the arrow while the higher the number, the easier the shaft to bend. For example, an arrow with spine number 400 is stiffer than a 600 spine arrow.
How do you measure the draw weight of a bow?
Ready your equipment: the bow and a draw weight scale. Attach the draw weight scale to the bowstring, near the nock. Raise the bow and pull it back to full draw, keeping good form. Read the measurement on the draw weight scale. You may take these steps multiple times to get a more accurate measurement.
How do you find the length of a compound bow?
If you draw a compound bow back to full draw, the official draw length is found by measuring the distance from the nocking point on the string, in a line perpendicular to the center line of the bow, to an imaginary point above the pivot point of the grip, plus 1.75 inches. Did you get that?
Is the draw weight of a compound bow static?
But keep in mind, the draw weight of a compound bow is neither static or linear. That is to say, it isn’t like pulling on a rope with dead weight at the end – and the draw weight doesn’t get progressively harder the farther you draw the bow back (like a longbow).
What should the draw weight of an arrow be?
The draw weight, arrow weight (measured in grains), and draw length will all define the speed of your arrow, but draw weight is the most important. You can have a low draw weight around 25-35 lbs, but still have a high draw range of about 30” or so.
