Archery

General knowledge

Draw weight

Draw weight of bows is measured at 28" unless otherwise specified. You lose or gain 2# of draw weight for every additional inch.

Draw length calculation

Measure from finger-tip to finger-tip with your arms spread, divide that number by 2.5 and round to the nearest 1/2 inch.

• Easton Tribute Aluminum Arrows (1816 variant)
