It is measured at 26''. I would not draw it over 28''.

A:
If you are talking about the Polaris take down youth bow it will depend on
the draw weight. If your bow is a 24# limbs it will be 24#s at 26'' draw
length. If your Polaris bow is 28#s It will be 28#s at 28'' draw length.
These are youth bows so i would not draw it any more than 2'' past the peak
draw weight. Have Fun.

A:
The usual way to measure is 1 inch of draw for 2 inches of bow length. The
manufacturer will state the poundage at a certain draw length and then you
can add 3 pounds for each inch over. Hope this helps!

Q:
We've ordered this bow at 62", 36# at 28" for our 16 year old daughter for Christmas. We don't want to give her any ideas that she's getting it, so measuring her draw pull length isn't possible. I'm noticing that most youth arrows are limited to 35#, so not sure they are an option. She is high-average weight/build (about 110lbs) and 5'4" tall. So, could we try youth bows (cheaper, easier option) and then get more precise once we're able to measure her? Or, can someone guesstimate based on her age/weight/height? Thanks a lot!

It will be up to you if you get the adult or the youth bow. The 62" Polaris is a border line adult bow.

@ 5'4" I would guess shes not going to pull the full 28" draw length,therefore
she wouldnt be pulling the full pondage on the bow. The youth arrows should be
fine, I have my neice shooting this bow @ 24# w/ easton Genesis aluminum arrows,
set-up works great and she's 13yrs old and weighs approx 90lbs.For the money its
a great bow, and great fro beginners, its forgiving enough she can get used to
shooting then look to upgrade later if she sticks with it.

I think the bow you ordered is fine, I have a 14 year old about the same size she has no problem with the poundage and the length is fine.

Hi Donna,
Assuming your daughter is exactly 54 inches and her arm span is the same as
her height, her draw length is likely going to be about 25.5 inches,
meaning the bow you ordered will pull roughly about 31-32# at her draw
length. Youth arrows would likely work fine - I don't know aluminum arrows
well, but for carbon arrows, something in the .900-1.000 spine range (ask
about "nine hundred spine" or what "spine" would work well for the weight).
Rugratz arrows have worked well for my wife, Beman also makes an arrow
called ICS Hunter Juniors that are rated "up to 40#", but these might be a
bit stiff at .500 spine. In any case, keep the arrows longer, at least
about 28-30".
A youth bow might be a better idea, as the weight might be slightly heavy
for her. That looks a lot like a Samick Polaris, which my wife has. Getting
something in the 25-29# @28" would probably be a good idea if she hasn't
really shot before, until she works up to higher draw weight. It's quite
difficult to learn on high draw weight, and if she's averagely strong, a
lighter bow might be a good idea. You can get a Samick Polaris for about
$120-something if I'm not mistaken, and it's a really nice bow.
Good luck!

Arrows can be ordered and spined for any draw weight bow. There is not
going to be a measurable impact on the flight of the arrow if you are not
matched perfectly especially with lower draw weight bows.You will be fine
with this combination. Hope this helps. Al

Your daughter is about the same size as mine and she has tried the 62" bow and it fits her perfectly. You will be safe just ordering the 62" bow.

We've purchased this bow (62", 36lb) for our daughter, and need to know what arrows to purchase for it. Most of the youth arrows I've found have a limit of 35lb.
Thanks,

You will be able to use any of the youth arrows with this bow. I recommend looking at the wooden youth arrows or the fiberglass youth arrows.

A:
Hello. we will have to know what the draw length your daughter is using.
That is the distance from her anchor to the front of the bow at full draw.
The draw weight depends on the draw distance. The 36# pull is at a 28''
draw. If you draw a lesser distance the poundage is less and if you pull
farther than 28'' the bow weight will be more. You can have her pull her
bow with an arrow in the bow and you can place a mark on the arrow and
measure from the nock end of the arrow to the mark that you made. Besure to
stand to one side and it is better to do out side when taking a
measurement. Her draw weight could be less than 36# or even more. i will
guess it will be less. subtract or add 2# for each inch that is less or
more than 28''.draw pull on your bow.

They don't have to be youth arrows to work. Buy 40 to 45 lb arrows and cut
them to the length you need.

Q:
I am a 13 year old girl. I weight 90lbs. I can pull 55lbs. I had a mission craze compound bow, but I like longbows and recurves better. I'm a lot more accurate. Should I get this bow or a bear titan bow?

A:
Amelia, compound bows and recurve bows are not the same. You may be able to
pull a #55 pound compound bow, but a recurve bow of the same weight is a
lot harder to pull. It will also be a lot harder to hold steady until the
shot happens. When you pull a compound bow, it starts out at the maximum
pull weight and gets easier to hold at full draw weight. A recurve bow
starts out easy and gets harder to pull until you are trying to hold the
maximum weight of the bow. If you can shoot a #55 pound compound bow, I
would suggest that you start out at #35 to a maxium pull weight of #40
pound recuve bow. Also remember, the longer the recuve or long bow the
smoother the draw will be. I think you would enjoy either the polaris or
the bear recuve bows. Both are quality bows and will be a lot of fun for
years to come.

This bow would work well. You will want to get a bow that you can shoot 30 to 50 times before getting too tired. I recommend getting either the 24# version or the 36# version.
Another bow you can look at is the Sage. We have the Sage available in 25# and 30#, and extra limbs available for when you want to move up in weight.

do you recommend bareshaft testing this bow at 36 pounds , also when is the life chat available

A:
No, lower poundage weights are difficult to bare shaft. Bare shaft tuning requires you to have excellent and consistent form. It will be easier to either flight tune or use an arrow that is stiff enough that it will not paradox. Give us a call at 1-866-587-9501 and we will help you to figure out what will work the best for your situation.
Answered on 10/11/2012 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
A:
Bare shaft tuning is a method to reveal the tuning relationship between your
bow and the arrows you choose to loose from it.
In order to accurately tune this relationship, you need to know your draw
weight at your draw length or arrow length...AND the spine weight of the
arrows you choose.
If you have or can learn this information, then yes, you can bare shaft tune
your bow AND arrows.
If you are shooting arrows which are not spine matched (such as the youth
wood arrows), it is difficult to bare shaft tune that relationship. You need
to know how stiff your arrow shaft material is to tune.
It is also difficult to bare shaft tune if your shooting form and release
are inconsistent (novice archer mistakes). It can still be done. You should
remember to be patient and shoot several rounds, carefully noting which
arrows are not grouping and if particular arrows repeatedly do not group
with the others (could be a bent shaft, odd spine, or even of a different
grain weight).
So, yes you can tune this bow. But remember the bow is only 1/3 of the
relationship of any form of tuning.

You'll have to measure your draw to see what length of arrow would work best for you, but I'd recommend the fiberglass arrows. I've tried fiberglass, aluminum, and wood and the fiberglass are the most durable and have been the best for me. That's what I always shoot.
