Default Tips on buying a bow?

Looking for a new bow this year. I would like to get it this spring so I can practice over the summer before deer season starts in September.

Everyone keeps telling me the same thing, "Get the bow that fits you the best." Well how do I know which bow fits me? Every bow I go to look at is zip-tied so I couldnt draw if I wanted to. I can understand they dont want people dry-fireing thier brand new bows and tearing them up, but how am I going to know which I like without shooting them?

Are they going to let me test them right there at Bass Pro?

Im also coming from a bow that is about 1.5" too short for me and really messes with my accuracy. I measured my draw and it seems I need a 30.5", but most of the bows I find see to only adjust out to 30". Does this mean I am limited to bows that are larger than a 30" draw?
