New Bow
« on: February 19, 2009, 07:49:00 PM »
I am new to tradgang and to traditional archery so here is my question.  When I order a new bow, would you get one that is at your draw length (26.5) or at 28 inches and allow for weight needed, what the advantages or disadvantages?

Most people when ordering a custom bow for themselves get it made to your draw length.  But if you would rather order it and have the poundage marked at 28" that is fine as well.

Here is the link to a poll I posted on this very subject.  Me, I always get em marked at 28" (I sell way too many  :)  ), plus I like the "standard"...Mike
