New bow hunter here
 

Hi,
Im just starting out this year and I am trying to find the right Bow, I am 6'4 with long arms , any suggestions?

Stealth, your best bet is to go to a local pro-shop. They will give you some ideas of what to look for in a bow (draw lenth, weight, etc). From there it's just a matter of what feels good to you.

Wish I could be more help, but I'm not!:D

Stealth,

As Scar955 stated, go to a pro shop to get your draw length, etc and most importantly, shoot as many different bows as you can before choosing. Also, this link may help you through the process.....good luck and let us know what you decide!!

Ditto Scar and DJ.....If you have any friends that hunt with a bow, ask what bow shop they use and go there. Not all bow shops are created equal my friend.

My personal choice for a new archer would be to find a bow with a moderate to long brace height, slightly reflexed or even deflex riser design, axle to axle length of 36" to 40". A setup like this will be quite forgiving which I feel is more important for a newbie than a bow that is geared for all out blazing speed.

As far as manufacturer...That is really secondary. The pro shop will have several top bow manufacturers products at there disposal, so you need to find the bow that "feels" the best in your hand, regardless of manufacturer. Hope this helps.....Jim

Welcome stealthvinson; Pro shop, practice, visit forum often and then feel confident next year walking into the whitetails playground. They"ll laugh at you quite often but don't worry, that is their NORMAL BEHAVIOR!;)
