Default Determing draw length

Ok im trying to determine my draw length and thus far have found 2 methods.
1: is to draw an arrow back and marck it with a marker and measure from the mark to the nock. Problem with this one is im not sure where i make the marks. Do i marck the arrow right where it goes over the rest and measure from the begining of the nock or the bottom of it?

Method 2:

Wingspan [Inches] Draw Length [Inches]
73-------------------------29
74-------------------------29 1/2
75-------------------------30
76-------------------------30 1/2
77-------------------------31
(Add or subtract ½ inch for every inch over 77 inches or under 73 inches)

When i measured my wingspan with my wifes help on the wall it was 69 1/2 inches. Im not very good at math but i come up with 27 1/2 inch draw length with this method. Does anyone know any other methods besides going to a pro shop. The closest one just closed and the other one ignored me for the most part so i wont go back there. Im fixin to get a 2003 hoyt magnatech. Also after your determine your draw length do u cut your arrows the same length as your draw length?
