Default Whats my draw??

I' m in the market for a new bow,mine was given to me 7-8years ago and I know nothing about itexcept I wont take a shot outside 20yards (unless it' s at a target).
I want to know how I find out what my correct draw should be?Can I use a tape and measure from my palm to my trigger finger?
Thanks for any help[:-]

Try the wingspan method. Face to wall with your arms out to the side. Have someone mark your finger tips at the farthest point. Measure this distance then subtract 15" . Divide that number by 2 and you should be close.

Example- 73" reach minus 15" = 58" . 58/2=29" draw.

That sounds like a plan...Thanks
How can I find out the draw on the bow I have now?
Ya see,my buddies are always giving me grief about the bow I use.
They are the type to buy a new setup every year,have to have the lastest gadgets ,will buy 5 different rest and end up useing the first one they had anyway(duh)
Myself on the other hand havent bought a thing except broadheads for years,but I do fill my card evey year.And I have never taken a lame shot[:-].
The bow I' m looking to get is 2003 Hoyt Super Tec, Spiral Cam and a ½, with XT2000 limbs.
It' s on E-bay
Do you know anything about it??
Or any tips I should know before spending $500
