Tall guys - what do ya'll do? - 12/15/16 06:02 PM
I'm looking to buy a bow soon and need help figuring out what to do. I'm 6'5 and, by measurement, need approx 32inch draw length. I've been looking at beginner bows and used bows that pop up on here, but none are near that draw length and none of the adjustable beginners go that far. I see that top of the line bows can go that far, but what do other tall fellas do about this?

Look at a bear attitude.. i got into bowbunting last year and didnt want to break the bank. Im a shade over 6'4" and the bear attitude has alot of adjustment in the draw length. Killed the first deer i ever drew back on last year

I have been using a 30 inch draw. If I remember right, I measure to about 32" draw, but I feel like a 30 inch draw suits me better. I also have my release extended as far as it can go. I was using a bear strike bow. Hear makes a great bow and they are easily adjustable. I'm right at 6'6". Try some out at different lengths to see what feels best.

32" draw will be tough to find. One of my buddies just bought a new breed blade in a 31" DL. He has a 10-12 year old Hoyt w/ a 31" DL he is about to sell. Pm if your interested and I'll get y'all in touch with one another.

I'm the one bbrown is talking about. It's an 07 Hoyt vectrix. 70 lb 31" with a loop. Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you all the specifics on the bow.

I'm definitely interested but about to move so my wallet isn't. I'll reach out in a month or two if you still have it.

Also, thanks for ya'lls help. Good to know I can probably make things work with a 30 DL. I'll be in a bow shop soon to get a proper measurement.
