Question 1

what is the draw length?

Accepted Answer

Hello Clint, the draw weight of the Spyder is measured at 28". However you can pull the bow as far as you need for your draw length, if you pull more than 28" it will add about 2.5 pounds per inch over. It will also decrease about 1.5 pounds per inch if your draw length is less than 28".

Question 2

I am adult male roughly 140-150 lbs and I am about 5'7" in height. My upper body strenghth is ok. What limb size do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Your height and weight have nothing to do with your ability to draw a bow. If you are new to archery, choose the 20-25lb limbs and call it a day. There is nothing wrong with a light bow at all; they are fun, the arrows are fairly inexpensive, they're won't go through your back yard fence when you miss your target, and you will get more respect from other archers than you will with higher draw weights. Going above 30lbs when you are new risks serious injury. The best Olympic archers in the world, people who can repeatedly hit a US Quarter(roughly 3cm circle) from 30 yards, practice with 20-25 pound bows all the time. Archery is not a strength sport, it's a precision sport: The better archer is the one with the best accuracy, not the strongest bow.

Question 3

Hello, i bought the spyder xl 64 inch takedown recurve bow but it doesn’t come with a case. am i able to buy one for that? need asap. thanks

Accepted Answer

There are cases available for all manner of takedown recurves. You can get them from Amazon, Cabelas, 3 Rivers Archery, etc. However I find them a bit pricey for my purposes and found I could make a sturdy and functional case, inexpensively, out of large diameter PVC pipe and a couple of end caps. PVC is available at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Hope this helps

Question 4
