Default RE: Whats your draw length?

ORIGINAL: Canuck_2

By direct measurement and using the formula {power stroke + brace height + 1.75} my draw length is 29.25". This is pretty much in line with a height of 6'1".

However, wingspan is a much more accurate method to try and identify your draw length than height is. One formula for that is (wingspan - 15) divided by 2 = draw length. BUT that's just a ball park figure and there's more work to be done after that.

Based on the data that the various posters have put on here so far, as well as data I scrounged off another site, here's a graph pitting height against draw length. Note that, as expected, there's a linear concentration of values but there are also some flyers.

For example, someone who is 5'10" is very likely to have a draw length close to 28", but they vary from 27 to 29 in this sample set.

nice
