Default RE: draw length

This is what we use and it seems to get us real close (usually right on).
WINGSPAN METHOD
This is measured by standing with your shoulder blades against a long wall. Keeping your shoulders relaxed and down (do NOT hunch up) raise your arms to a "T" formation making sure both arms are extended and level to shoulder height. Have someone mark the wall at the tips of the middle fingers. Measure this distance to the nearest 1/8 inch. Then enter the table below:

WING SPAN/DRAW LENGTH
(wingspan minus 14) divided by 2 = draw length
55"/20 1/2"
56"/21"
57"/21 1/2"
58"/22"
59"/22 1/2"
60"/23"
61"/23 1/2"
62"/24"
63"/24 1/2"
64"/25"
65"/25 1/2"
66"/26"
67"/26 1/2"
68"/27"
69"/27 1/2"
70"/28"
71"/28 1/2"
72"/29"
73"/29 1/2"
74"/30"
75"/30 1/2"

76"/31"
77"/31 1/2"
78"/32"
79"/32 1/2"
80"/33"
