need a bow and arrow?
I joined archery at school and LOVE IT. The only problem is i cant find a bow that fits my dimensions. And i cant spend a lot, maybe $300.00 at max.
draw length: 28″
draw weight: 70 lbs
arrow length: 33″
bow length: at least 70″
string length: at least 64″
Know where I can find a bow??
With a bow length of 70 inches, you are looking for a longbow. The thing is, though, the bow’s length does not “have to be” a specific length to fit a person’s specific height; I am 5′ 8″, my longbow is 72″, yet a 4′ 6″ young girl I once knew also used a 72″ longbow — and her 6′ 1″ father used a 56″ recurve.
The only time a long bow length is needed is when the archer needs an easy-to draw bow, one which has a low string angle at full draw, giving less (or no) finger pinch. That is the real advantage of the longbow: The lower string angle. Of course, the advantage of the recurve is more power from a shorter bow at the same draw-length.
Try looking through the on-line catalogs of these places:

They all have quality bows available for less than $300.
BTW, it is strongly recommended that a new archer begin with a low-poundage bow, to help build actual archery skill and prevent injury. By starting with a 70-lb draw, you are setting yourself up for torn ligaments and possibly torn muscles — and learning bad habits which will lead directly to inaccuracy in shooting. A rotator-cuff injury can put you out of the “game” for a year or more. Bad habits learned because of starting with too much draw-weight can stay with you for life.
I have to assume that your school uses recurves (most school archery programs do), so I recommend that you go with a take-down recurve so you can simply swap out the bow’s limbs as you gain the skill to use the higher draw-weight limbs properly. You aren’t going to really need a 70-lb draw for target archery, anyway.

Archery – The weight and length of Arcos
Archery – The weight and length Arcos:
In archery, the most important factor for all is the goal. Given this equation, it is also the weight and we use the arc length. For some people, there will most likely have a different weight and length combination that must be better goalie. If, in the sense that we will see what can be the most important factors to decide. This, in turn, help everyone as individuals to decide which of these may be better for our needs.
Weight and size of the Arches
The weight of your bow, if the number books will be needed to fire the arrow along its entire length. So we see that the weight of one pound of attraction for short distances shorter Drawing can be estimated. The length of his bow is largely determined by the length of the arrow used. We see a short arrow, a photo arc, it tends to give a casting neglected because the arc to be an effective tool for this type of arrow. We would also see an arrow with an arc from long to short, this could cause it to be drawn again most likely weakening and rupture of the arrow. In addition to being mentioned, should never take a bow without an arrow proper. Long arrows, bows for long, short arrows, bows for short.
This a new and modern practice, this practice is the use for beginners lighter bows. This is essentially true, especially for girls and women. Girls and women often become discouraged during the first archery from, mainly when equipped a bow that is safe for them to handle. Given this theory, learners must comply light enough to handle with relative ease. This so you can focus on how not to shoot In addition, it will be hard to bow.
Sample weight and length arc:
-
Women – Arcos length of about 5'6 ", 18 to 25 pounds
-
For men – Arcos length about 5'8 "to 5'10", usually around 28 to 40 pounds
-
For younger boys and girls – of course the lighter material will probably be necessary
Most bows vary in length from about 5 'and 6' feet. Weight may vary considerably, which is usually 20 to less than 60 books for use destination. When it comes to group instruction in the possession of weapons extremely light, say, between 7 10 pounds, used only in order to learn to handle the bow, also shoot in the position elimination. These will probably equipped with a rope chain, must also be taken into account they will not actually used to release the arrow. They are used to provide an inexpensive way to practice the position of equality.
We know that the arc belongs not only to the Robin Hood or William Tell, but for us all.
