6'7" archer needs help

[TRADITIONAL ONLY]

6' 7" holy chit!!!!! course what am i sayin, i got a cousin thats that tall, hell, he might me 6' 8" im not sure....

he could shoot solid fiberglass arrows. Sully bowfishing supply sells 36" arrows.

WAIT! they also have the opton of 36" aluminum arras too! not sure if they would work, but it might be worth a try!

I am sure that Ted at Raptorarchery.com could help you with advice and a solution too..they have a variety of wood to choose from and carbon as well-both shafting and finished arrows.

I'm sure if we wait long enough Paul Brunner will chime in here.

In all seriousness though didn't Paul hunt with Tom Storm in Bad Medicine for Big Bucks?  I think Mr. Storm was pushing 6'6", course it could just be the perspective of him standing next to Paul.

Dang, I'm 6'7" and thought my 31+" draw was significant.... I suddenly feel "normal".

You can get them from Easton all joking aside. Shaquille O'Neal had a custom 40" draw wheelie bow built for him by Mathews and I believe Easton Made the arrows for him.

I think I would consider having a bow built at 60 or so pounds at 35 in. Still an awesome power stroke and less trouble finding an arrow. It would probably feel like holding 40 lbs to a regular size person.

I thought so, Vermonster. Thanks for pitching in and letting me know I hadn't dreamed it up. Easton has been pretty obliging in the past; nice to know they still are.     Grant

Is he shooting 60 lbs at 35 in. now or is he 60 at 28 in and pulling it 80 lbs plus?

FYI.... a 2018 shaft will perfectly fit OVER a Beman Black Max 340 or Easton Axis 340 shaft. He would use a full length 2018 and a full length Axis 340. Use 2-part epoxy all over the OD of the Axis and insert it into the 2018 and let it cure. Leave 6" or so of the carbon shaft sticking out of the back of the arrow for the additional length needed (they come uncut at 31" I believe) and for fletchings. His total leghth of arrow could be 35"-37" depending on how much he cut off the front of the arrow. leave enough aluminum on the front end of the arrow to get a standard insert in.

They'd be stiff, HEAVY and skinny as all get out and long. They'd penetrate like a 7mm Mag! I'd love to see someone shoot one with a 35" draw!

carbon arrows with a long aluminum footing glued over the end should work.
