QUESTION: How do I determine my draw length on my traditional bow?
ANSWER: The easiest way to measure draw length is to string your bow and nock an old arrow on the string. Draw your bow back to a full, comfortable draw, and have someone mark the arrow at the point where it meets the back (target side) of your arrow shelf. Carefully let your bow down. Measure from the base of the groove of the arrow nock to the place on the shaft that you previously marked. This is your draw length. Add 1” to that measurement and that is your arrow length. This additional 1” will give your proper broadhead clearance.
