2 - "Proper Bow size can be determined by age" Test it: If you stand three people of the same height next to each other and measured their arm-spans you will likely come up with three different numbers.įACT: Using a chart based on height will not always yield desirable results, but your odds of choosing the proper bow size is a little better than selecting a bow based on age. 1 - "Height is equal to arm span"īow size charts based on height suggest that "arm-span is equal to height".Īccording to the Journals of Human Kinetics, there is no evidence to support this claim. If you take a moment to educate yourself you will enjoy countless hours of satisfaction and have a positive archery experience!įollow these simple steps and you can be rest assured that your new bow will not end up in a dark closet or hanging on a wall collecting dust bunnies.īefore we get started there are a couple or rules you should be aware of.or as I call them, archery myths. The process only takes a few minutes of your time, read on.ĭo you want your archery equipment to be used or looked at?
The bow MUST be properly sized for the archer or the experience will be physically painful, frustrating and an expensive loss. If I had a dollar for every child that showed up at one of my youth archery camps or lessons who was "over bowed", or had the wrong size bow for their actual draw length, I could afford a two week vacation in the Bahamas.Ĭountless hours have been lost re-educating parents on this one topic alone when the time should have been spent teaching how to shoot.
I know this to be true because I have personally re-outfitted hundreds of archers who made impulse purchases from the local archery pro-shop or big box store. If you skip these steps there is a good chance you will end up with something that will not be correctly sized for you. Remember, the salesman just needs to do his job which is.make a sale.
