Draw Check

The draw check is a small handheld device used to measure the amount of force required to draw an archery bow to a specific draw length. It attaches to the bowstring and provides a reading of the amount of force required to draw the bow to a certain length, typically ranging from 24 inches to 32 inches.

Why is the Draw Check Used?

The draw check tool is used to ensure that a bow is set up correctly and that the archer is able to shoot with consistency and accuracy. By measuring the amount of force required to draw the bow to a specific length, the archer or technician can ensure that the bow is not too difficult to draw or too easy, which can affect the archer's ability to shoot accurately.

Benefits of Using the Draw Check 

Using the draw check tool provides several benefits for archers and bow technicians, including:

Ensuring proper bow setup

By measuring the amount of force required to draw the bow to a specific length, the tool can help ensure that the bow is set up correctly for the archer's skill level and shooting style.

Diagnosing problems

If the tool shows that it requires significantly more force to draw the bow to a certain length than it should, this may indicate that there is a problem with the bow, such as a damaged limb or a loose string. Similarly, if the tool shows that the archer is consistently pulling more or less force than is required to draw the bow to a specific length, this may indicate a problem with the archer's shooting form or technique.

Improving consistency and accuracy

By using the tool to measure the amount of force required to draw the bow to a specific length, the archer or technician can ensure that the bow is set up correctly and that the archer is able to shoot with consistency and accuracy.

How is the Draw Check Used?

To use the draw check tool, the archer or technician will first attach the device to the bowstring and then pull the bowstring back to a specific draw length, such as 28 inches. The tool will then provide a reading of the amount of force required to hold the bowstring at that length.

Draw Length Measurements

The tool can measure the amount of force required to draw the bow to various draw lengths, typically ranging from 24 inches to 32 inches, depending on the specific tool being used. Different draw lengths can be tested to ensure that the bow is set up correctly for the archer's shooting style and skill level.

Overall, the draw check tool is an essential piece of equipment for archers and bow technicians who want to ensure that their equipment is set up correctly and that they are able to shoot with consistency and accuracy. By measuring the amount of force required to draw the bow to a specific length, the tool can help ensure that the archer is able to shoot with confidence and precision.
