Bow owners quick question

RE: Bow owners quick question
Can I quickly ask how come nobody is mentioning their height or length of their arms in regards to their bow selection. Obviously this doesn't apply to compounds, but you should select a recurve according to your height. The idea being that the maximum power is achieved when the string is pulled to it's predesigned distance from the bow. This is one of the basics of archery. A bow that is too small will be overpulled by a tall person, while a longer bow will be underpulled by a shorter person. Arnie at 6'4" and SD at 5'8" will be using completely different pull lengths, and thus should be using totally different sizes of bow!!!

One thing worth doing, getting yourself measured up for a bow.

If I remember rightly, considering it's been over 10 years since I last show a bow, it should stand, strung, between your chin and nose.
