[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 272983, member: 6150"] There is no “rule” on draw weight to length. The bowyer can tiller a 55 inch bow to 60lbs at 30 inches, but the finger pinch caused by the string angle associated with a short bow with that much weight is what drives the numbers. As others recommended, start with a very low weight. Get a riser that has ILF specs or something like a Samick Sage that has interchangeable limbs on a single riser. That way you can start low and purchase heavier limbs as you learn. It’s also nice to drop limb weight a year down the road if (and when) you need to work out a form issue. Almost all traditional archers I know shoot point on. Some are strictly point on, some string walk, and some run a raised knok (modified point on). Some people have a knack for instinctive, but very few shoot instinctive. The Push archery has an EXCELLENT video explaining everything traditional archery including aiming techniques. It even explains why they work, it’s very good. Tom Clum’s Total archery mechanics online tutorial is well worth the $200. You have access forever, and what you will save in shoulder surgery and PT will pay for it. Don’t do traditional archery unless you understand shooting with back tension and the proper holding position that stacks weight through your bone structure and not with your shoulder muscles. I got got rid of my compound 5 years ago and it made archery fun again. [/QUOTE]
