How Tall Should Your Bow Be In Relation To Your Height?

by JPGII
(South Bend, IN)

I stand 5'9" (69"). My wingspan is 71". That puts my draw at 28.4" which pairs me with a 68" bow. By the calculations on this site, the proper bow for me is as tall as I am. Is there any compensation for height?

Height of Archer Not Relevant
by: Coach Zeober

The height of the archer is not relevant.
Your actual or calculated draw length is the deciding factor when determining bow size.

Because I don’t know your age or archery skill level or if you are selecting a traditional Recurve bow, a Longbow or and Olympic Recurve bow it is difficult to make a recommendation specifically for you...but all of these are factors to consider before making a final choice.

Regards,
Coach Zeober
