Traditional archers draw length should increase when swithching from compound bows. Recurves and long bows should be shot with a slightly bent relaxed (bow) arm. I prefer to have a measuring arrow used to check my draw length. This takes out all other factors. Drawing the shaft several times untill a consistant measurement is determined can be done at most bow shops. It takes two to do this. I add 3/8" to the final arrow measurement for clearance of all large blade heads being used by traditional archers. |
