Determine draw length from wing span?

If a person stands with back against a wall and spreads their arms out to their side and you measure 74 inches tip to tip, what would their draw length be?

Face the wall, subtract 15, and divide by 2. If you still measure 74" , you come out to 29.5" draw.

I believe it was Len who had some variables where he would figure a different amount depending on what he saw in an individual. Might have been someone else I' m thinking of tho.

74" is my wingspan and I shoot a 29 1/2" drawlength. Anything 1/4" shorter or longer definitely affects my shooting capability.

If your pro shop doesn' t agree, to some degree, with the Wingspan Method, I' d have to respectfully disagree with them.
