Archery Basics Explained | Draw Length vs. Arrow Length

[@antipode_ghost]

Thanks! Can you please make a video about choosing the arrow length?

[@davepersich3035]

Great explanation. What I would like to say is a lot of new archers tend to go for a too heavy drawweight to start. It's a man thing I guess. Then what happens is when you get a little tired, your draw length shortens and your performance suffers. Also, in my case, I had a shoulder problem in my bow arm. I need to go for a lighter draw weight and work up as my strength increases. I would also recommend your book Total Archery. Whatever your style, this book has something for you. A lot of my fellow beginners would look at their equipment and upgrade rather than looking within.

Better intro.. short and sweet

[@johnfcockrell]

I really wish we had a standard short-hand for draw length or whatever so when people say “my draw length is 28 inches” I knew immediately what they meant instead of needing to ask a bunch of follow-up questions. I understand we have these different terms but to know exactly what people are talking about you need more detail than “my draw length is X.” Granted, maybe one of these measurements actually is what they mean and I just haven’t figured that out yet. Lol

Looking to get into archery and finding this very helpful!

[@rijodel]

Hi Jake! It helps to better understand the different concepts if you show a diagram with the different lengths. Tks

[@GilesBlay]

Great information. I'm just about to get back into archery after stupidly selling off all my gear. Excellent explanation of the various lengths . Great channel!

[@garylim4800]

Nice, concise, short and sweet. Also important is to know what nocks you're using, press-fit, pin-nock, overnock etc. as they might affect the total arrow length differently.

[@didierdeschamps6880]

As usual very good tips.

[@Marcos.ACSantos]

Hi, Jake! Very good explanation. Thanks! One question: What about using the graded rule, that one similar to an arrow, to measure the draw lenght?

[@phantomcruizer]

An “Easton Draw Length Indicator Shaft” would be more accurate than the “wingspan” method, but still relies on how consistent your draw is.

[@Marcos.ACSantos]

@@phantomcruizer ok. I undestood. Thanks

[@gregraines8048]

Been away from archery for 20 years. Now back and just picked up a Barebow for the very first time. Question, if my bow arm is shaking at full draw is that “holding it wrong or pulling to many pounds?

Thank you sir form india ❤

[@bobjimenez4464]

Jake, after taking two years off to let shoulder heal I'm having lots of trouble pulling through my clicker that was set before I stopped shooting at #40. Even with #30 limbs I'm struggling. I'm able to pull through the clicker for my first few shots and then I feel like I'm collapsing. Is it time for me to buy some lighter limbs like #20 or should I just keep working with the #30's until this problem goes away? I already cut my arrows from 30" to 29.5" and my clicker is set to the maximum on my riser.

[@ThirdLawPair]

Where can I get those fletchings? They are so cool.

[@clarkansas6590]

Good job

3:18 Nock lengths vary tho. If you use push in nocks, they’re shorter than pin nocks with the pins.

[@-fazik-3713]

That is why you measure from the place where the string sits - the groove and not from the end of the nock.

[@athenovae]

@@-fazik-3713 ahh and you just specify what Nocks you want to use. 👌🏼

[@Sregnos]

Jake, thanks for this topic. Curious, and this is hypothetical, but if there were a being who had super long draw length (eg 31+ inches) and the arrows from manufacturer are just shy of 1.75" from pivot point (say 1") is that safe enough to still shoot or would you say that they would need to contact the manufacturer to ask for custom length. Also, I think you like to tinker, so thought you might enjoy this kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fac5Jrjcd_gZI
