Some bows will be equipped with a mechanical device, called a clicker, which produces a clicking sound when the archer reaches the correct draw length.

The overall length of bending wood must be about 2.3 times the draw length.

The crossbow prod is very short compared to ordinary bows, resulting in a short draw length.

The recurve bow's bent limbs have a longer draw length than an equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving more acceleration to the projectile and less hand shock.

Crossbows have a much smaller draw length than bows.

This reduces stacking: the exponential increase in draw weight at longer draw lengths.

Mechanical methods to make a traditional bow's draw length consistent are sometimes used.

Clicker - a blade or wire device fitted to the riser, positioned to drop off the arrow when the archer has reached optimum draw length.

The curves put the materials of the bow under greater stress, allowing a fairly short bow to have a high draw weight and a long draw length.

A Clicker is a device used on recurve bows to signal to the archer that correct draw length has been achieved, thus aiding consistency.
