Time to buy a new bow!!!
 
Hey just thought that you guys might want to know that im buying a new bow when i can find one that fits me. Right now im still just reading about them and trying to figure out if i want one of the single cam or cam and a half bows. it will be a trick to find one that fits me(recently i grew again outgrowing my old bow and now the owner of the pro shop says i need a 32" draw) not seeing alot of 32" draws out there but im sure i can find one somewere.

32" draw! <imagines his arms dragging the ground>

I had similar trouble, except other way around, my draw is only about 26" or so if I use a string loop and mechanical release.

High country heres a site that compares bows, http://www.huntersfriend.com/bowspecs1.htm Dang you must be prety tall,I have a 31"draw and am 6'5".Anyhow I saw a few on that web page that went up to 34".Another thing that may help is using a release aid with a string loop.Bill D>

I wouldn't think you need a 32 inch draw. I'm six five, 210 pounds with a large wing span and I shoot 30 inches just fine. Don't overdraw, you'll develop lots of bad habits.

32inch draw???[:o] I'm just a hair under 6'4" and I have a 30 in draw. My friends call me a Gorilla :D. With a 32' you're an Orangutan!!

Sorry I can't join in and make fun.
I am 5'11" with a 31" draw. I shoot with my bow arm slightly bent and anchor a release in the corner of my mouth.
If I shot fingers I would need a 32" bow. As it is now I have to use a string loop 'cause both my bows have a 30" max draw length.
It's a curse having long arms and a wide chest!!!:D
