Hi Everyone
I wanted to get some info on if there are any advantages or disadvantages of being tall and having a long draw length when shooting. I'm 6'3" and pretty substantial weight wise and having been doing my beginners course.
During the first week my coach had me using the second longest club arrows, this week, my second I was pulling them off the rest and we moved up to the longest arrows the club has, I'm not sure what length they are but there was a slight concern that as my draw increases I might be drawing these too far as well :scratchch
I am adament about staying with archery, I shot right till the end of the session this week and loved every moment of it but are there any long term implications to my size and draw? From what I've read limbs start to "stack" when over drawn? Will I find myself in this area or are there ways to buy bows whcih will draw further? Will I need a longer bow/ riser/ limbs, there do seem to a variation in limb and riser length is this what this is to compensate for?
Sorry for all the questions :shy:
