Long draw bows, what are current options?

[Spyder]

I'm thinking pretty hard about getting back in to archery hunting. Haven't done it in 20+ years, and it was only small stuff back then. I still have my old antique York and use it to stick fish once in a while.

Using the old armspan/2.5 formula, my draw length is going to be >33". If/when I do go to buy a new compound, I'll be going to a well known reputable shop to get fitted and set up properly, but I'd like to do some online research first to see what options I have and get caught up on the technology changes since the last time, many years ago, that I looked at bow stuff.

For the folks who are current on makes and models of modern compound bows, what long draw offerings are out there that I should start looking at?

brief research shows PSE Beast goes to 33", Bowtech Boss goes to 32", Hoyt Spyder goes to 32"...

Hey man. If you can get up here I have a buddy who owns a bow store (The Bow Rack) who will treat you right and knows what they're doing.

I think I was 6'4 when I was 11...

Hahahah, I was hoping that was the video that I just shot over the barricades because they were only 6 and a half foot tall barrels!

[BigBamBoo]

Yeah, I did not have that one in the video but that was good stuff!

My back hurts watching that....so why not tell us how tall you are?

Back to the bows go to a good bow shop or two and try the top manufacturers...Mathews, Bowtech, Hoyt, Bear, PSE & Elite. Let them tell you how long you really need. Your anchor should be the soft tissue gap between you lower jaw & the bone below your ear lobe. The string loop, release and the length of your finger can get you dialed in to the correct draw length.

Its not always the case with draw length. That just gets you in the ballpark. I'm 6'0" and my DL is 32". Your anchor point can change your DL by 1/2" or so.

Heck you may need custom limbs made!
