I'm pretty tall for a girl. I'm 5'9 and weight 138 lbs. is this bow a good length for someone my size, or do you recommend a longer bow?

The draw length can be adjusted from 27-29, so you should be good, but I would get your draw length sized beforehand to ensure a proper fit.

Absolutely. I'm 6'5 and this bow is just a tad short on the draw length for me (I need a 30" draw; the bow is 29" draw max). Measure your draw length in order to be certain, but I am pretty sure this bow will work just fine for you.

It really has a common size thats pretty comfortable for any adult. If you're that tall it will look good on ya^.^ I would warn.... It has a very heavy pull out of the box :) You wont be sorry!!

My daughter is 5' 9" and it is just about right for her lengthwise. My feeling is that it would be too long for her. Just my opinion though. Thanks for the inquiry. Hope it helps.

My 9 and 10 year old sons have this bow. It was a little hard for them to pull but you are able to adjust it. I would think that it would be great for a 14 year old.

Dear Rachel, this bow is meant especially for right handed archers. Hope i helped :D

It's a great bow, but more difficult than a standard recurve bow to string. Recommend getting a recurve bow stringer found in abundance on Amazon. Got one after buying this bow and my son and I now have no problem stringing/unstringing the bow. To do it safely and quickly, I recommend the bow-stringer. Without one, it can be not only difficult, but risky for you and the bow. Get the recurve stringer and make it easy (and safer) for yourself. Good luck!

Hello, I bought it for my nieces 7th bday and its a nice starter bow. It will require a bit of practice and assistance until she gets the motion down but if she's interested I think it is awesome and you should go for it!

The arrows that come with the bow are 28" long. I DEFINITELY recommend you purchase many extra arrows, since they tend to bury themselves an inch or two into the ground, never to be found again. Good luck!

I bought it for my son to bow hunt from - he is 6'3", shoots a 31" arrow, and loves it. Enjoy.

I hope this isn't getting to you too late... The bow measures 45" tall, but the draw length is only 18-22". An adult is fine using it playing with kids, but if this is going to be your sole bow, you should get one with a longer draw length for accuracy & so you can fully draw back on it, otherwise it won't fit you quite right.

this bow is more appropriate for younger kids, more like 7-10. For a 15yr old I'd be looking at a low end adult bow, maybe 40-60lb draw depending on the size of the boy. A decent take-down bow in the 35-40lb range might be a good option if you are looking at something portable and not compound

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

The size of the arrows does not matter for this bow. They come in several lengths, and as others have said.... The longer arrows are for those who can pull the bow back fully. Several sixes of arrows are sold on Amazon, from this same manufacturer.

I bought this for my 10 yr old daughter who is about 4'5, 60lbs and it is a good fit for her so I would suggest something a little bigger. I bought my older daughter the "Barnett Sportflight Recurve Archery Set", that may be a better fit for you.

No. Get a starter bow that fits your draw length. This bow is not a good option for an adult. I ordered it based on the price and the normally great brand name, but returned it immediately.

Yes it will work, my son is 5ft. 3in. 150 lbs and he used it very well, let him try work with drawing the bow back he should get use to it.

long bow string lengths are supposed to be at least 3" shorter than bow length nock-nock. you can go 2.5" or up to 4" but these lengths will affect you your brace height and string tension. if you want higher brace go with 4" shorter and more strands than your draw weight needs. personally i'd say never go for a lower brace than what you get at 3" shorter string though. too much wrist slap.

It is a great bow. It is good for a child all the way up to an adult. My 12 year old is who ours belongs to, but my adult neighbor who owns one, and shoots competition archery is the one who suggested it to us. He said that since it is so adjustable he will never need another bow.
