Thanks very much for your response!

Yes, then luckily I have managed to do the measurement correctly.

I will follow your advice.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers!

What the picture suggests is that you measure from middle of neck to what appears the area where the base of your fingers meet the palm of your hand, with your arm extended out just like that.  Then add add 3cm.  This will allow the blunted end of the arrow to stick out a bit once you reach your full draw.

For arrow weight, the easiest thing to do is tell the merchant your bow's draw weight, how far you intend to draw it, and the length of your arrow.  Then they can assist you appropriately.

I'm in no way affiliated with the company!!

Hi! I can't advise you on a purchase but what I can say is that they are really
nice and quite helpful. I'd suggest messaging them on FB. They do have prices
listed there, etc. I would have purchased from them but it was a bit out of my price range
with shipping and taxes.

All the best in your search for a bow. Cheers!

Hi, I'm new so apologies in advance.

I'm finding figuring out my arrow length a bit confusing,
too boot I have dyslexia.

Here's what I do know -

I took my measurement according to the picture shown here it's 33 inches.

My bow, yet to arrive, has a draw weight of 30 (it's my first) and draw length of 32.

So what should the length and weight should my arrow be?

Again, I'm new and just hoping to get this right.

I'd be grateful for any guidance.

My sincerest thanks! smile

It's in Korean, so I guess it's not for Kyudo

I'm glad to be here and ready to learn!  big_smile
My family is getting into to archery, both my wife and spent
time learning as children and when our son expressed interest
we thought it was time to get back into it.

In researching things I came across Traditional Korean Archery and
was blown away by it. I just finished reading Bluelake's books, so I thought
I'd come on here and learn some more. Now looking into which bow to buy as
a starter.

Cheers!
