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

RE: Bow help please!

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

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?

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...

Ahh I see now, I understand why it has a short draw. A lot of the Plains bows were indeed small compared to the eastern woodland bows. The Bowyers Bible has some excellent information on "indian" bows, you should buy them mate, well recommended read for archers.
My mistake I assumed by "horse bow" you were talking Mongol, Scythian etc and not American Indian.
