If my draw length is 29 inches and I pull it all the way back to my anchor point, will I be at risk of damaging this bow that has a 28 inch draw?

yes you can draw the bow past the standard 28" draw length, you can draw it to at least 32" without any damage to the bow. the draw weight of the bow will increase about 3 to5 pounds per inch past 28"

I dont believe so . I pretty sure it can handle 29 .I'm not an expert and haven't had this bow long but I dont think the 28in draw is the same as a compound bow .... more like 45lb at 28in if that makes sense to ya... that being said I wouldn't risk going much over 28 but 29 should be fine again not an expert though

Bows like this don't come in a "draw length", but the poundage they list is usually written at a 29" draw length. So if you're draw length is more than that you will get a lot more than the listed poundage.

Draw length is adjustable and very simple to change. It is definitely powerful enough to hunt with. I used it this past season and the deer is shot went about 20 yards so it packs enough punch. I think the max draw weight is 60lbs not sure you could get that much with a 22" draw but I definitely recomend this bow. For the money and quality you can't beat it.

No, you have to adjust the Draw Weight, according to your strength so you can easily pull it back. Go to You Tube and search for how to shoot a Compoun Bow (do not dry fire a bow) very dangerous if you do that. Good Hunting.

My standard 4/4 violin bows (29") fits perfectly. Maybe something at the tip end has been accidentally stuffed or blocking your bow from fitting. If your bow is much longer than 29" it will not fit.

I would think that an adult should not have a problem with draw length. With that said a shorter adult would need to compensate a shorter draw length with strength to pull up higher.

It comes with 2 28" arrows so that's what I got when I bought extras. I think the arrow length depends on the draw weight and your draw length, I tried to look up how your supposed to figure it out but I didn't find much. The 28" have worked fine for me and I'm a 5'6 woman.

You should be fine. I use this bow with my daughter, it is just about 1.5 inches short on draw length for me, but should be appropriate for your son

Yes, the more weight you will have to pull as a bow goes up in weight. It is the Weight of the drawing of the bow when you are preparing to release the arrow.

believe that the amount of pounds the recurve is rated at is a standard draw of 28 inches. at the draw of 28 inches is 50lbs for a recurve rated 50lbs. still I pull my bow 30 inches which increases the poundage. I shoot 31 inch arrows with a inch left over the front. of course one could draw further depends on length of arm and strength.

I would say its a bit much. I agree with the two other posters: In regards to str8edge, I dont know if you are around any ranges where they would rent bows, but if you could go to a hunting or sports shop and try them, thats a great idea. Also, as At Full Draw said, I believe 30-35 lbs would be better. Currently (for me), i can pull the draw string back all the way (all the way, meaning my arms' length, me being about your 14 year old's height), and i can hold that for maybe 2 minutes max. So, to answer your question, I would say its not TOO much, but a lighter lbs bow would be better. If its target practice (like i do), 35lbs, if its hunting, i have no opinion.

According to the ad you can set the draw between 13 and 30 inches and between 5 and 70 lbs. Mine was set to 65 lbs and 24". If you don't know what you are doing I suggest taking it to a pro to set the bow up. I did that and he worked on it for a bit to get the draw length right. Take the instructions with you, if it isn't a bow they sell and work on regularly they will need to see them. Great bow, easy to shoot.

The draw weight and lengths are adjustable. I have it set at 55lbs with a 28inch draw. set up is a cinch. You'll have to buy the tools to adjust the weight and draw or take it to a reputable place. I love my Martin bow. its awesome for a self taught beginner like myself.

I was using it for a 80lb crossbow and sometimes the bolts imbedded so deeply that they were nearly unretrievable. But those were bolts not arrows. I think it would be perfect for a bow with a lower draw weight. Hope that helps.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.
