When did he measure his wingspan?

Dan
I think he took his height as roughly his wingspan since they are usually about the same.
Well I suppose that's fine for an example but in reality that's just a guess. My buddy is 2" shorter than I am and figuring both our Draw lengths by our actual wing span measurement, he shoots a 29" draw and I shoot a 28.5" draw.

It's usually takes some really bad form to get your arm in the way if you are shooting a draw length a little short. Hence like Rob I tend to round down not up. As your Draw length gets to long you have less and less room for form error before you get slapped

I hunt with a 28" draw because in hunting situations and positions you can get in. I find it much easier to repeat my form when the bow is just a tad shorter on draw length.

It's definitely a different game than towing a line at a paper or foam target!
