Draw weight of bows is measured at 28" unless otherwise specified. You lose or gain 2# of draw weight for every additional inch.

Measure from finger-tip to finger-tip with your arms spread, divide that number by 2.5 and round to the nearest 1/2 inch.

Three arrows custom 36 pound fibreglass horse bow

Samick Sage 40 pound takedown bow

3x 29 inch wooden arrows with turkey feather fletchings
6x 30 inch carbon arrows - EK (Archery Research) bought from CTC Featherston. These are 85grain field tip and 275grain shaft weight.

So far i've found that good arrows for the Samick Sage 40 pound with a 28 inch draw length would be:

28 inches

26.5 inches
