Default RE: Lost all my draw length switching to a compound?

Sounds like you have a good proshop getting you properly fitted for a bow. The majority of compound archers are shooting a bow that is too long for them, which causes all kinds of form problems equalling accuracy problems in most cases. Be thankful your proshop is spending time to fit you correctly. A quick check is to measure yourself fingertip to fingertip up against a wall, chin up at shoulder height. Take that measurement subtract 15" and divide by two. It will get you very close to what your correct drawlength should be. So if you measure 73" of wingspan, that is 73" minus 15 which is 58 divided by 2 equals a 29" drawlength. There are differences for individual body features like long fingers, short fingers ect. but for the most part it is very accurate for a good estimation and correct more times than not.

Good shooting!
