Bow Length
Bow length is the distance from the tip of the top limb to the tip
of the bottom limb of an unstrung bow with the tape following
the limbs. Depending on which riser length and limb length you
choose, you can tailor your bow to your specific needs. Refer to
the following chart to determine your bow length.
Riser Length
Long Limbs Medium Limbs Short Limbs
Short Riser (23")       68"                  66"   
64"
Long Riser (25")
70"
68"
66"
Note: Short riser will result in an approximate 2 lb. increase
over the marked limb weight.
Draw Weight
To determine the weight on your Hoyt bow,
refer to the limb specifications located on
each limb.  Example: a 25” riser with a long
limb produces a 70” bow with a draw weight
of 34 pounds at a 28” draw length.  If these
limbs are used on a 23” riser, the combination
would produce a 68” bow with a draw weight
of 36 pounds at a 28” draw length.
The weight marked on the limb is measured at a 28” standard
A.T.A. (Archery Trade Association)  draw length.  A.T.A. draw
length is measured at 26 1/4” to the throat of the bow grip plus 1
3/4”.  This produces an industry standard by which recurve bows
are measured.   
Note: Your draw weight will change due to draw length.  Add or
subtract approximately two pounds for each inch your draw
length is over or under the 28” standard.
