Buying Guide: Which Bow Length Is Right for You?

A shorter bow is not automatically more suitable for a shorter archer. Your personal draw length, experience and intended use are equally important when choosing a traditional bow.

Archers who intend to practise regularly may benefit from a longer bow. With a comparable design, a longer bow generally provides a more comfortable string angle and greater room for a relaxed draw. The Flash is particularly appealing when compact dimensions and traditional styling are priorities.

Safe Use and Maintenance

• Use arrows suitable for the bow's draw weight and your personal draw length.
• Inspect the bow and string for wear or damage before each shooting session.
• Never draw the bow beyond the manufacturer's permitted draw length.
• Never release the string without an arrow.
• Always use a suitable archery target and ensure there is a safe backstop behind it.
