No kidding? You got a wing span like a friggin condor!!! That must be a bitch trying to find a bow!!
Congrats - I got my first bow recently as well. I got a Mathews. I am 6'2" and I have a 29.5" draw. What weight are you planning on shooting. I started at 50# and am just about ready to move it up to 60#. Ideally My goal is 70# this summer and into the fall but I am sure 50/60 will be just fine too. Slinging arrows is quite relaxing and I am really enjoying.

Supply is all messed up for a lot of companies right now. I've been waiting on a bow press a few weeks.
I will say I bought a Bear Constrictor last year...Bear is no longer the same company I grew up buying products from. I'm not going to get all down on them, but I'm not going to talk them up either.
Good for you! Plenty of time to tune up and practice
A Bear Grizzly? That was my first bow!
Instinctive shooting with a bare bow is fun. You’ll enjoy it

Yeah but the fun turns into disappointment and sorrow when you miss a big buck with one. LOL
Oh I was talking about shooting at targets! Serious weapons come out for hunting!
