Default RE: Determing draw length

The #2 method is the one I teach at seminars. All other methods allow for archers' variations in what they have been taught or incorrect equipment choices.

The wingspan method measures fingertip to fingertip. This method cannot be abused by the unknowing or, in some rare cases, the knowing. It' s not set in concrete; but, it' s an excellent starting point. It should even be considered by older archers who have may have been mislead by others, or by the manufacturers who willfully made/make their bows longer than what is stated on the specification sticker on the limb.
