[QUOTE="Dgd6mm, post: 938572, member: 12044"] They should have a drawlenght bow in an archery shop. Here is a goodway to check his drawlenght. Have him stand 90 degrees to a wall, make a fist and extend his arm placing his closed fist knuckles against the wall. Then you take a yardstick, tapemeasurer, etc, measure from the wall to the corner of his mouth (anchor point). This will give you his drawlenght. As far as elbow bend goes, I prefer a ever so slight bend that allows you to gentley push the bow straight forward towards the intended target at release. I've shot both ways for years, straight and bent. This aids in allowing you to rotate your shoulderbone down and helps eliminate lefts and rights. With the slight bend in the elbow it makes it more comfortable to rotate the shoulderbone. I have a 30" drawlenght. [/QUOTE]
