The term "draw weight" in archery refers to the amount of force needed to pull back the bowstring to its full draw length. It is measured in pounds and indicates the strength required to shoot an arrow effectively.
In 1964 Shakespeare bows started to look similar to the Root Archery. Ernie Root sold several designs to Shakespeare and they modified them and renamed them. Root Brush Master became Shakespeare Kaibab; Root Game Master became Shakespeare Ocala. Shakespeare finally bought Root in 1967. Ernie Root continued to be an important influence in Shakespeare bow design. The first bows after the sale bore the name "Root, by Shakespeare". Shortly thereafter Ernie Root went to work for Shakespeare, and the Root name was dropped completely. This bow is a perfect example of Ernie Root design. In the early 1960's Root produced the Root Brush Master. The Brush Master had black glass, and the risers were laminated Zebrawood and Seduha. Shakespeare bought Root Archery in 1967 and Ernie was their chief bow designer. The Kaibab is nearly identical to the Brush Master except for slight riser modifications. From 1967 - 1970, The Kaibab was 58 inch long and had dark green glass. After 1971 it appears that Shakespeare was offering lengths of 56 and 58 inch in either dark Green or Black glass and did make custom bows over 60 lbs. The Kaibab was considered a high end quality bow like the Ocala and was Bear Archery's primary competitor.
62 inches for sure. I have the same bow.
1/16 less than the length of the bow - in this case 55.3125 inches
maths is used in archery to calculate the distance between the arrow the target and to calculate the arc of the arrow
To accurately measure arrow length for optimal performance in archery, use a measuring tape to measure from the nock groove to the end of the arrow shaft. Ensure the arrow length matches the draw length of the archer for improved accuracy and consistency in shooting.
For a Browning Medallion recurve bow, you typically need a bowstring that is 14 strands for optimal performance. The exact length of the string will depend on the specific draw length of your bow, but it's generally around 60 inches for a standard setup. Always check the manufacturer's specifications or consult with a local archery shop to ensure you get the correct size and strand count for your bow.
To measure arrow length accurately for archery, use a measuring tape to measure from the nock groove (where the string sits) to the end of the arrow shaft. Make sure to measure in inches or centimeters for precision.
In archery, string weight refers to the amount of force required to draw the bowstring back to a specific draw length, typically measured in pounds. It's an important factor that affects the bow's performance, including arrow speed and accuracy. A higher string weight generally indicates a more powerful bow, but it can also require greater strength and technique from the archer. Understanding string weight helps archers select a bow that matches their physical capabilities and shooting style.
The length of a bow has to do with how it's made, and doesn't matter how high it is compared to you.

To lengthen the draw on your bear badge bow, you can adjust the bowstring by changing the position of the nocking point or by adjusting the limb bolts, if your bow allows for such modifications. If your bow has adjustable draw lengths, simply follow the manufacturer's instructions to set it to a longer length. Always ensure that any adjustments are made carefully to maintain the bow's integrity and your safety. If you're uncertain, consult with a professional at an archery shop for assistance.
