[QUOTE="Dhammer, post: 938595, member: 77995"] Finding a good bow shop is hard. Even a good shop can get there share of bad employees. I would go get him measured and if that bow is a no go hopefully he paid with a credit card. At least he can hold that over their head to exchange it or take it back. Some bows are adjustable too. PSE may be able to get involved too. Worst case they should be able to swap out cams to get him to a longer draw. I actually prefer about a 1/2 less of draw then what I measure out at. It works perfectly for me with the release I was using before I got hurt. I almost forgot. I was talking to the owner of a small shop I like to use when I stopped by to have him put a new string on my xbow a few months back. They have some new bows that have a crazy range of draw length range and poundage too. I haven't stayed up on compounds since I had to switch to an xbow. Both my little ones are starting to show intrest in bows. They want compounds like dad's that's hanging in the man cave. I remember him suggesting that type of bow as another option then just a kids bow they will grow out of. He said they were popular with kids, adults starting out and anyone looking for a bow with lots of options that didn't break the bank. That may be something else for him to look into if he gets to take that one back. I just don't see how anyone could say normal draw length doesn't matter other then bows I just described. My first bow as an adult ended up being way too long because the kid who measured me was an idiot. One of Man issues I had because of him. I was used to getting hand me downs and deal (righty and I'm a lefty) with it so didn't know better. It later was destroyed by another store just trying to replace the strings. Hopefully it all gets worked out. [/QUOTE]
