What's the best way to get a really close idea of my draw lenth without seeing the pro shop first. I'm lookin at buying a new bow. The bow i shoot now has a 32 inch draw and it's really big. I'm shooting instinctive with fingers now. I was lookin at the reflex excursion, but the draw length is only 30 inches. i measured from finger tip to finger tip and it was about 72. Does shooting with a release shorten or lengthen your draw length. I don't know if i'm going to shoot this bow instinctive or with sights. I've always been raised instinctive, but really want to start hunting with sights and release etc.
