Default looking for 26" draw bow.

I am looking for a 26" draw compound bow. I have a 28" and it is too long for me. If anyone has one for sale or wants to trade then let's talk.

Can you change the cams and make a difference on the draw length??

Check into the Youth or Lady size bows, they should be in that range. Most bows have a 27" min DL.

But first I would recommend that you go to a bow shop and have them check your draw length. I am shooting 27.5" inches now but I made some changes to the bow draw weight and the bow does not feel quite right. I may reset the length to 27" and see if that feels better.

Alot of the newer bows go down in the 26" range... The Mathews Z7 Extreme and Z7 Magnum actually starts at 24"

There are alot of bow manufacturers that are also making bows that are adjustable from 17" to 30" and the draw weight is adjustable also.

To the OP... Not sure if you would find someone that would want to trade a difference of 2" on draw length.. generally if a bow doesnt fit it just barely doesnt fit... maybe 1/2" at the most.

What type of bow do you have? Might be better off just trying to sell it on Ebay or on this sites classified and then purchasing a newer bow with the correct draw length.
