If it is a compound bow, the type of bow with the pulleys or "wheels" at the ends of the bowlimbs, there should be some way to adjust the draw-length of the bow itself; it may be best to consult someone at an Archery shop for the best way to make such an adjustment. When using a Traditional bow -- a recurve or longbow, or other non-compound type -- the only "adjustment" is to simply pull the string back (in this case) to 27 inches; reducing the draw-length in this way also reduces the effective draw-weight of the bow.

Also, when using a Traditional bow, and the archer has a longer draw-length than the bow is rated for (i.e., the archer's draw-length is 30 inches, but the bow is rated at 27 inches), it is always advisable to make sure the bow is designed to withstand the longer draw-length. Failure to do so can result in the catastrophic failure of the bow, and possibly serious injury to the archer. Increasing the draw-length of a traditional bow will also increase the effective draw-weight of the bow.

How is a ruler different from a straightedge?

The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.

How do you choose the right bow for you?

There are two important numbers when selecting a bow. These are the "draw weight" and "draw length". A local archery shop can measure your draw length and draw weight for you. The "draw weight" is roughly 70% of how many pounds you can pull back. You may want to select a bow that has a minimum range of 70% of what you can actually pull to allow for expansion as you become stonger and more used to your bow without having to buy a new one later This is especially true for younger archers that will undoubtably grow as they get older. The draw length is a measurment in inches of the tip of your longest fingers, with your arms raised, divided by 2.5. Measure across your body, from one hand's longest finger back to your other hand's longest finger, with your arms raised out. Hold your palms facing outward. When you make this measurement, do not stretch your arms out. Be comfortable. Divide this figure by 2.5 to come to your "draw length". Other factors that come into play are whether you'll be using a trigger release or other device to aid in your shooting. This will require a shorter draw length to accomodate the length of the pulling device. You do not want to be pulling past your ear, with too long of a draw length, in order for the cams to "turn over" of a compound bow. You also do not want to be maxing out on the pull before reaching the corner of your mouth. Draw lengths can be adjusted using shorter or longer string lengths, but this is usually limited to plus or minus one-inch. The bow shop should be able to teach you everything you need to know. If you have the choice, shoot many bows and find out which one you like the best. A good compound bow could cost you between 200 to 1,000 dollars. Used ones can be had from $50 on up. Arrows, broadheads, sites, quivers and bow cases are extra.


How do you adjust draw length on bear scout bow?

The Bear Scout bow is a twin cam bow that can be adjusted for both draw length and draw weight. As the draw length increases so does the draw weight and vise-versa. The draw length and weight is determined by the amount of rotation the cams experience during a full draw cycle. For example, If the cams rotate 270 deg it will have a longer and stronger draw than if the cams only rotate 180 deg. With twin cam bows this rotation is determined by the % of string on each side of the cam. The front side of the cam contains the string that will dead end on the other limb while the rear side of the cam contains the string used to nock the arrow. The scout bow is equipped with cams that allow easy movement of the string back-n-forth from front to rear. First before adjusting, note the position of the brass nock that is pinched on the string somewhere by each cam. This position is important to remember for adjusting your bow in the correct direction. In order to adjust the rotation of the cams, the bow must be disassembled as stated in manual (push down on limbs and pull cam assembly off). Then unwind the string from the cam. You will notice that the cam can slide along the string. If you want to shorten the draw length and decrease the draw weight, then slide the string so the brass nock is on the front side of the cam. If you want to lengthen the draw length and increase the draw weight, then slide the string so the brass nock is on the rear side of the cam. Then do the same for the opposite cam. Note that the brass nocks must be in the same location on each cam. Then reassemble as stated in the manual. Tada your done and ready to shoot. I hope this was helpful…
