Default How does my draw length look? w/pic

My bows draw length is 28", but when I measured my arm span and divided that by 2.5, I got 29.3". Do you think I need to increase my draw length, or isthis fine?

The problem is you are drawing your bow back with your wrong hand!

Anytime red and gray are brought together in such harmony, it screams respect and only means one thing....Go Bucks!
