teenager bow drawlength question.

[browtine]

Hey guys just trying to see what u have had good luck with. My son is 14 6' and lanky. His draw is at 28" now and although he would love to pull 70# he's at about 40.lol I know he's going to grow and fill out a lot the next few years and I don't plan on buying him a high end bow till maybe high school graduation.

At 6 foot I bet his draw is longer that 28. Take him to a bow shop and see what he can draw. But at his size he needs an adult bow.

you can measure his draw length by measuring his wingspan middle finger to middle finger and then divide by 2.5.

So I got him the bear cruzer g2. It's a very good looking bow. So I measured him and got 28.5. That's his wing span devided by 2.5. The bow was set at 26 it looked a lil short but when I moved it to 27 his nock ends up behind his ear. Does a 1" adjustment ushally move your draw point that much? Thank u in advanced for any help.

No, it wouldnt. Take him to an archery shop to get it properly fitted. Will save him a lot of aggravation.
