I am pretty much average proportions all round, 5'11 tall and a normal draw of 28.25", I am going to buy 6 wooden 32" arrows and see how I get on with them for length.
Having trouble finding anything longer than that.

Is a 32" arrow enough to get started with?

I assume I will need feather fletchings?

What would work better between Wood + Alu/Carbon to start with?

Re: First Traditional Bow (30 replies, posted in Bows)
I am in the UK so mine is coming from quicks. If you are in the US follow Bluelakes advice
I have plumped for the 45# one, they are cheap enough here that I can buy stronger if/when I get familiar with the technique.
Any advice on what arrows will suit. If anyone has a chance could they check merlin archery uk and advise.
Cheers, Joe

After considering advice I have asked to change my order to the KTB and focus on thumbring shooting . Afterall it is what bought me to this forum!

Thanks bjarup. I only had access to the righthand model so that is what I have gone for.
Could you tell me if three under or mediterranian 3 finger draw works best on the khan? Or does it not matter?
It is 50# draw so maybe I can progress to shooting thumbring how you do it in the near future.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I was planning on getting the Khan for now as a step on from my trainer bow (Take-down recurve) and was hoping to look to getting a KTB around easter time.

Topic: First Traditional Bow (30 replies, posted in Bows)
Hi all,
New to the forum and relatively new to archery. I want to focus on traditional and from my searches I came accross the Kaya bows. In particular the Khan, as it seems to be the best of both worlds with the shelf etc, as I dont think I am ready to use thumbring.
My question is, Do you think this is a good choice for my first 'proper' bow, any other similar priced options to consider?
Cheers, Joe
