Default RE: good compound bow

I know of one bow that could probably be sent out to you to try....but there is the draw length issue. Do you have any idea what your draw length might be? Use the method listed below and see if you can determine it. The bow I am thinking of has a fixed draw length position.

1) Lean against a wall, standing as close to the wall as possible with back flat.
2) Extend your arms and fingers out as far as possible
3) Have someone make a pencil mark at the end of both your fingers tips
4) Measure this distance

This is your wingspan. Find this number in the chart below to find its matching Draw Length. (For example, a wingspan of 67" would be a draw length of 26")

Wingspan Draw Length
(inches) (inches)

63 24
64 24 1/2
65 25
66 25 1/2

67-----------------------------------------------26
68 26 1/2
69 27
70 27 1/2
71 28
72 28 1/2
73 29
74 29 1/2
75 30
76 30 1/2
77 31
78 31 1/2
