How Far to Draw a Bow for Archery Tips

Hello, I'm Leroy Sisco and on behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to give you a few tips and techniques on archery. Another thing that's very important, is make sure when you get your bow and they set you up on it, that they set it on the proper draw length. And what I mean by draw length, when you come back to here, that distance is a certain amount. Mine is 28 inches, and a guy with big long arms, he may be as much as 31, 32 inches. People with shorter arms may be 26, 27. Don't worry about the draw length. Make sure that you should have a slight bend in this left arm and that draw length, and these pro shops, they know how to set you up on that. You've got to make sure the draw length is proper and that makes it much simpler to shoot, again, your accuracy is there whenever it fits you that way. Don't worry about, sometimes, especially men, we feel like we've got to have everything, "Well, I've got a 32 inch draw length", well that's totally unnecessary. You just want to make sure you get it where it's comfortable for you and you can draw and do all the things and become very accurate with your draw length. Because these new technical bows are so incredible, you're going to get phenomenal speed out of a 26 inch draw, so don't worry about that part of it. Make the bow fit you, and make sure the pro shop sets you up with the proper draw length, that's very important.
