Bow Length

You might be wondering: "How long should my bow be?" or "Do I need short or medium limbs?".

To answer these questions, you first need to know your draw length. If you don't know it already, don't heasitate to ask one of the senior archers to help you!

Then, you need to know how long your riser is (either 23" or 25").

Now that you have determined what your draw length is, all you need to do is look at the chart below:

Draw Length → Bow Length

24" - 26" → 64" - 66"

26" - 28" → 66" - 68"

28" - 30" → 68" - 70"

31" and longer → 70" - 72"

Here is an example on how to use the chart: If you have a draw lenght of 26" and a 25" riser, you need either short or medium limbs.

However, if you have a draw lenght of 26" and a 23" riser, you need either medium or long limbs.

Hope this answered your question!
