The bow itself doesn't truely have a "draw length" in the sense that a compound does. It has a certain draw weight at a given draw length. The further you draw it the higher the draw weight. Due to this, the standard is to give the weight at 28" draw length. If your bow is 60# @ 28" and you draw it 27" you'll be shooting it at about 56-57# depending on the bow. If you're a gorilla and draw it to 30" you may be shooting as much as 68#, same bow, no changes, just pulling on it more or less.
