Hide-out Archery Training Cape Town

Hide-out Archery Shop Cape Town can assist you in determining your draw length for a compound bow when shooting with a release aid.

Most compound bows are designed to work with a specific draw length in mind, thus they will only drawback to a specific distance or length before it stops.

This means the bow can only be shot from the specific full-draw position, for instance a bow set for a 29” draw length, can only be shot comfortably from the full 29” draw position.

It’s very unlikely that a compound bow will be over-drawn, say to 30” or 31” without changing the setup on the bow first.

A compound bow needs to be set-up so the draw length matches your particular size.

To measure your draw length, stand with your arms out and palms facing forward. Don’t stretch when measuring just stand normally.

Have someone help you to measure from the tip of one middle finger to the tip of the other middle finger.

Then simply divide that number by 2.5 and you have your draw length.

This is only a good starting point as you need to keep in mind that the draw length might need to be fine-tuned to get the desired results depending on the release aid used to shoot the bow with.
