Draw vs release

[Duse500]

I'm looking to buy a new bow ,my draw is 29.5"
I use a release , should I still be looking for a 29.5 draw?
thank You

Duse500,

No one on here can tell you for sure.

It depends on the release aid, your anchor, whether or not you plan on using a loop, etc.

Your best bet, would be to go to a reputable pro-shop, and have them fit you perfectly. If you cant do that, try to get a bow that is near that draw length, but very adjustable up and down a few inches. Especially down, because a release can shorten your draw length by a few inches in some cases.

Try to get to a shop and find out what fits, and what works for you. Thats your best bet to get off on a good start.

Like Mattiac stated, it may be tough for us to tell you exactly what to do because there are a lot of variables invloved. An option though would be to get an adjustable draw length bow that would cover maybe a 29-30 inch draw. Darton (as well as others I'm sure) makes a bow that can be adjusted in 1/8 increments across a pretty wide range of draws (without changing modules). Maybe start by doing some resaearch and asking specific questions directly to manufacturers concerning your needs.
