Hey all, I am making a bow for a young man who does not know he is getting a bow! He is 5 ft. tall. What is the approximation for a draw length at that height?
-
All depends on his arm length but I would guess 24/25 would be very close to average. :)

I just made a maple bow, 46" ttt 16#@21 1/4" (thats his specific draw length) for a 7 year old who is about 4' 5"
-
Wing span in inches divide by 2.5

If he is 5´ now he will be 5´5 tomorrow ;D
Make a bow with suiable weight at say 25" and tiller it out to 27 or so to get some room for growth.
i have made 3 bows for my nephew in 2 years.... he grows like :o

Make the bow at least his height. Jawge

I am 5'6" and draw 26". I have friends that are my height draw 24.5" and 28". I would just act like it is a joke measuring his arms because he won't know about that's how you measure draw length. He will just think you have gone a little crazy ;D
