The best way to get figure draw length for someone with little experience is to stand with your back against a wall. Extend both arms out to the side at shoulder height. Measure the distance from finger tip to finger tip. Divide this by 2.5. This called the wingspan method.

If you are of fairly normal stature then your wingspan will close to the same as your height. This comes to 74". If divided by 2.5 your should get about 29.5 to 29.75". That's a ballpark figure.

There is a lot to figuring optimum draw length and quite detailed, which I won't get into here because it won't do you any good at this point. That comes later.

For now do the wingspan thing. Something else you can do is have someone take some digital photos of you at full draw aiming at a target shoulder height, so the bow is level. You might even be able to do this in a mirror. Standing erect, not leaning back, bow arm fairly straight but not locked, the nock of your arrow should be vertically directly below your eye.

Here again, this is only a starting place, but is very close. Don't use the kisser button or peep or whatever as is. It was set up for the previous owner and may not be right for you. Once you get the bow the right drawlength for you then you can adjust these things to fit you.

Try this and then get back here and let us know what's going on. Let's do it one stage at a time.
