"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."



One really amazing thing this chart shows, is the guy with 33.5" DL, gets over 85 more fps than the guy with 25"... LOL thats amazing. Not to mention bigger guys, can probly pull more weight so theres more speed.
