Draw length questions

By

I notice people refer to draw length fairly often. From what I've been able to discover, it's simply the distance between where you nock your arrow and the grip.

However, I notice people talk about it like this... I'm a 25.5 lately. As if it changes from time to time. I thought it was based on the length of your arm and how far you can pull back

So my questions are:

  1. Is draw length determined by you adjusting it or unique to each bow model that you buy? (i.e Oneida Eagle might have a different length to an Oneida Osprey by default)
  2. Why would you want it longer or shorter?
  3. How can draw length impact your archery for better or worse?

Troubles with Thumb Draw...

By
Hello fellow archers! TLDR: I can't get my arrows to fly straight while using thumb draw. Please help! I started my archery journey for real last year with recurve. I loved it and I have become so much better than when I started. I've been using split finger, Mediterranean draw. My form is good and my arrows always fly straight and stick straight into the target. All I can see of the arrows is nocks and feathers when they're in the target. That's where I want to be. That makes me happy. Thumb draw, however... I have been practicing with it for a few months now. I've been using both Alibow's Mongolian fiberglass bow and their laminated Turkish bows. Both bows are 30# at 28" I have both a leather and plastic thumb rings that fit well. I've been shooting tight groups with thumb draw but my problem that I can't seem to fix on my own and can't learn from videos is that my arrows are always sticking in at an angle. I've tried Khatra, changin...

Shooting 40lb recurve with fingers

By
I’ve been competing with a 20lb genesis bow for 3 years and just graduated. I am used to using a three finger release and have always done so without a glove. However, i have recently purchased a 40lb recurve which i intend to hunt with but i have found that it hurts my fingers after only maybe 20 arrows. I have a glove but I can’t shoot well with it because it messes up my release (why i never used it with genesis). I had a similar problem to a lesser extent when I started with my genesis but after a while it stopped bothering me. Will it cause any damage to my fingers to continue shooting without a glove? And if so, can you recommend any other options for protecting my fingers or should I just try to make my glove work? submitted by /u/Shmoop-Dog [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3kQK7dh via

Gear Recommendations

By
Hey I'm about to get into Barebow, have a few gear that may need upgrading/replacing. Just interested in hearing everyone's thoughts. Current Setup - Hoyt Nexus 25" Riser - Hoyt Carbon 550 Medium Limbs - Easton A/C/C arrows Recommendations needed: - Vanes (I'm partial to spin vanes) - String (Hoyt owner's manual says my setup is a 68" bow, needing a 65"/165cm string) - Limbs upgrade?? (I am 5'11", may not be necessary) - Replacement tips (my current tips are dulling and my pencil sharpener doesn't work) submitted by /u/Ok-Investment-8267 [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/2V4Y3Fp via
