Default Longer draw length Bow

A buddy of mine is looking to get into archery and has asked for some assistance.

My concern is his draw length is likely going to be on the longer side.

I have not measured it , but he is just shy of 6ft 6" and weighs about 170 lbs. Exceptionally long arms.

Are there any bows on the market that might cater to the longer draw archer?

I am assuming a longer axle to axle might be more difficult to find in a world of short bow availability

Default APA Archery

I have two buddies that also have a long draw length. One is 31" and the other even longer but can't remember what.

They both have APA bows and love them.

Have a look, hope this helps
