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?

Allitle long maybe a 1/2 inch or so , get your elbow in line with your arrow , and the apex of your string should be right below the pupil of your eye , when standing straight up and not leaning into , or back with your head .

Try shooting sitting and nealing allso , when your draw is correct , it should be easy after some practice , too long a draw and its very hard to shoot seated . For a hunter being able to shoot seated is a valueable asset .
