Question Another Archery question

I havent shot a bow in years. The problem is I cant find one with a long enough draw length. I have real long arms and need about a 32 or 33 inch draw. I have tried 31 inch draws in the past but they fall just a little short. The problem is I havent found a bow that goes over a 31 inch draw. Does anyone here know of a company that makes a bow that has a longer draw?

Off the top of my head, I know the Switchback LD goes up to 32". Some bows can be customed ordered for 32+ inches but you gotta do a little research. 31" is about the top of scale for mass production lengths.

By the way, I shoot the LD in 31" and I like it. The wall is little spongy but its ridiculously quiet and a smooth draw cycle.

True... Also, on my bow (Martin Cheetah), at the lower cam you can lengthen the string as a last resort where the string attaches. This is seperate from inserting the string cams for length.

Find a release with the longest head. As others said, add a loop. Is this for hunting, or target shooting? Reason I ask is I find 99% of hunters who hunt purely from treestand , and stay seated, have greater accuracy with a 1/2 to 3/4" shorter drawlength. With the release + 3/4" less drawlength, and a couple twists of the string here or there, you can use a 31 " draw bow more comfortably , and ACURRATELY. Learn to tilt your nose into the string(no kisser), instead of straight, or leaning right(right handed). Index finger knuckle(3rd,at hand) into corner of jaw. Posture, which is hard to explain, but if you follow a 3D shooters most upright stance(shoulders back), you wont be comfortable in a stand. Take a more "agressive" stance (shoulders more compact/higher) and youll be more comfortable, with an added benefit for someone with long arms....another 1/2" shorter draw. Combine some/all of these and youll be able to use a 31" draw very easily. Take care now.
