need some help
 
lookin to get started into bow hunting to extend my deer season some....only problem is i did the wingspan divided by 2.5 to try and find my rough estimate of draw length....and its about 33 inches

does anyone know any companies that make compound bows with that long of draw lengths?

thank you

Mathews makes a Prostar that is not in their catalogue. It is a special order and it goes up to 34". I'm sure there are others.

My best advice though would be to go to a pro shop and have them measure you correctly. Trust me, it you get a bow that doesn't fit you properly, it'll be tough to be accurate with your bow and you won't have as much fun had you gotten one that fits.

If I were you, I'd go to two different shops and have them measure you. Have them show you their stuff and try out several bows. Don't buy a "name" but buy what is comfortable to you.

Good luck man.
