I am an old ball, only 5'9 1/2" (but who's counting?)but I have a 6'1" wingspan. (Big whoop, huh! )

So that translates into me having 29 inchesof draw length.

6' 0" tall... Using the wingspan method, my span is 75". Divide that by 2.5 and it is 30". But yet when I draw a bow, I measure 29". Go figure....

Exactly right....5'10" and a 28.5" draw.

I've shot a 29 inch draw over the last 10 years knowing I was slightly overdrawn. I did it for the speed and knowing it's better to shoot a bow slightly short than it is long, I shot it fantasticly. However as we shrink with age.....I shot my Vortec at 28.75" because of letoff adjustments I finally ordered my new Allegiance in a 28.5" draw and it feels exactly...

1/4" shy of being an even 6 footer. For years I was overdrawing with success at 30". A few years ago I cut it down to 29.5" and right now its better than ever at 29.25" on my Patriot.
