Default Draw length observation/question.

I just recently upgraded bows (Ross CR334) from my previous much older Jennings Buckmaster 2000. I shot my jennings at 30" since I've owned it as that was what I was measured at by my local shop here. They measure by placing a guide rule nocked on an old recurve and have you draw back (i've heard mixed reviews of doing it this way, which is what leads me to this post). I bought the Rosss setup for 29" from the previous owner, and planned to set it up for 30" with the appropriate module. However, just for kicks, I drew the bow back and it seems to fit! I know there are discrepencies between actual DL and what's advertised by the manufacturer, but is it possible I was shooting too long all these years? Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I attached a picture of me at full draw with the Ross as is (at 29" DL). I am able to anchor a point on the tip of my nose with the string without having to bend my arm too much or move my face I believe, but tell me what you think by looking at this picture. Is it possible a 29" DL on this bow is a good fit for me?
