21 inch arrows according to the writing on the bow itself.
I'll let him know to expect a knock on the head if he pulls it back too far though, and I'll not stand too close
Cheers for the heads up!
21 inches is deffo for a junior bow, just stand well back mate and don't laugh

That's because it is designed that way BP, a Long bow for an Adult would not be so small.
What do you mean your "horse bow" only pulls 20 inches? I don't understand BP. An adult "asiatic" style bows should be able to draw anywhere between 26-33 inches depending on anchor point and style of shooting. Have you bought a junior bow also mate?

The Bowyers Bible has some excellent information on "indian" bows, you should buy them mate, well recommended read for archers.(24 August 2013, 10:01)Tartar Horde Wrote:no, it was built especially for me as a copy of a Native American horse bow, its only 40 inches long and has a maximum draw length of 20 inches...(23 August 2013, 13:51)bigpaul Wrote: my horse bow has a draw of 20 inches and it definitely ISNT a junior bow!

My mistake I assumed by "horse bow" you were talking Mongol, Scythian etc and not American Indian.
