How Do I Know If My Draw Length Is Too Long?

If your draw length is too long, you may experience difficulty drawing the bowstring back to your anchor point, and your accuracy may suffer. You may also feel uncomfortable and strained while holding the bow at full draw and the bowstring does not create a “V” at the corner of your mouth.

Here are some signs that your draw length may be too long:

  1. You struggle to draw the bowstring back to your anchor point.
  2. Your accuracy is inconsistent or poor.
  3. You feel uncomfortable or strained while holding the bow at full draw.
  4. Your arrows consistently hit to the left of the target if you are a right-handed archer or to the right if you are a left-handed archer.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it’s a good idea to get your draw length checked by a professional or an experienced archer. They can help you determine your proper draw length and make any necessary adjustments to your equipment.

Remember that shooting a bow with an incorrect draw length can cause discomfort, inaccuracy, and even injury, so it’s essential to get it right.
