If it is going behind your neck 4 inches, it will not be able to be adjusted....its to far. Most bow adjust in I think 3" ranges...28-31,31-34...sounds like this one needs 5 to 6". Bows come in all diff sizes and configs to suit all the diff type ppl. Make sure you get one in your range or you start off wrong at the git go.
so would it need to be re stringed then if i were to buy it?
I think it is the frame size that determines the draw length minimum and maximum.
The draw length is adjusted by moving the string to one of three buttons on the cam. And you can get different cams. The different cams are usually to adjust the let-off percentage.
loosening and tightening the limbs adjust the draw weight.

Adjusting the string on the cam adjust draw length as well, may can get diff cams to suit your draw length,
what exactly are the cams?
