Default Draw Length Question

Looking to order my first trad bow and am a bit confused. I draw 29in and all of the bows I see are 28in.at the 50lb draw weight. Will one of the 28in bows work for me and just draw to 29in. Dont want to be under draw lengthed is what im getting at. THanks for any replys hopefully someone can clear me up on the draw length issues.

yes a 28 inch bow at 50# will work at 29 inches you will jsut have a few more pounds to it. Im not expert though and am new to it as well, id wait for someone with more experience to come on and inform you.

Just about all commercially made bows wil have a draw weight measured @ 28"

As stated above you will be drawing anywhere from 2 to 4lb with the added 1" of draw lenght.
