Is there a way to make the draw length on a bow?
A few years back Hunter got a bow from showmehorns.
I had took it to my bow guy to have it fixed where Hunter could shoot it. Well now that Hunter is well into almost man hood (still my baby) the draw length is way to small.
I can't get into touch with my bow and I ain't sure what to do.
There is no way he can hunt with it this year unless I get it changed.
Dang it I wished I could remember what he did.
Showmehorns did ya get my voice mail?

Unless it has notches on the cam for different draw lengths I believe the only way is to get a new cam put on. I'm not 100% sure but I think that's how it works.
It might have those little notches on the cam. If that's the case the string is moved around between the notches like on my FX2 bow. Even then I think you've only got about an inch to play with.

I'm guessing he had to shorten the draw length before for him to shoot it. If so, it can be adjusted back longer by some means. You should be able to adjust something on the cam, change a module, or change the cam.

You'll need to know what brand of bow it is and what cam is on the bow. Some cams have adjustments, some are draw length specific.

The local bow shop in Crossville (Outdoor Connection) had no trouble changing my new PSE bow from a 30" draw to a 28". They changed the module out and it was very reasonable. I had the all the accesories on my bow set up there.
