What's a length suitable for target archery? 34" is more than sufficient for target, and in fact is very nice to shoot.
At our club we shoot Vegas rounds indoor (30 arrows, outter 10, 40cm face 18m) and in the last year the 33"-35" bow shooters have shot ALL the 300's shot. Including
James Park: back to back 300's with AR34 Blade
Myself: 300 21" with Allegiance and 300 20x with
Mathews LX (6.75" brace height) shot 299 26x a few weeks ago
Alan Williamson: 50+ archer shot 599/600 for a double round with Allegiance
Erika Anear shot 300 with Allegiance
Leigh Cornish 300 with Allegiance
Our state's top Male and top Female archers use 34" bows (
PSE Scorpion and Bowtech Allegiance)
Country's top Cadet archer uses an AR34 Blade
In fact at FITA comps the 38"+ bows are starting to disappear around our way. All the above archers changed from 38-41" bows to the much shorter ones and have shot higher more consistant scores since.
