How do I know what size bow I need?
Just stand naturally. Have someone else help you, and measure from the tip of one middle finger to the other. Then simply divide that number by 2.5. The quotient is your approximate draw length (in inches) for your body size.
What if my bow draw length is too long?
Many bowhunters shoot a draw length that is too long for them, which hurts shooting form and degrades accuracy. You hear this all the time–that a long draw overextends your bow arm and makes it harder to hold against the back wall and to maintain a consistent anchor point.
What size recurve bow is best for me?

How long a recurve bow do I need?
Before you choose your bow, keep in mind your draw length and how that affects the equipment. The overall height of the recurve bow (in inches) should be roughly your draw length plus 40in. Standard setups usually range from 66in-72in, although there is more variety for youth archers.

Can a 29 inch bow be drawn back to 30 inch?
On most compound bows, the mechanical stop at full draw is quite firm. Once you hit the stop, it’s exceedingly difficult to pull the bow back any more (and you shouldn’t try). A bow that’s set for 29″ draw cannot be drawn back to 30″ or 31″ without modifying the mechanical setup on the bow.
What should I look for when looking for a youth bow?

Do You Set Your bow for too much draw length?
Most shooters tend to set their bows for too much draw length – particularly men. This could be a side-effect of male machismo (we all think we’re a little taller than we actually are), but sometimes it’s a conscious decision to gain more speed and power.
