This will give ya a good starting point as far as gewttin your draw length.

"Draw Length with Wingspan
You can also measure your wingspan by spreading your arms out and measuring the
distance from fingertip to fingertip. Refer to the chart below for your proper draw length.
Add or subtract a half-inch for each inch over or above the wingspans listed below.

Tips to help measure your draw length
Quotes from Archers on the Archery Network
Draw length is measured from the string to the far side of the shelf,
which is 1 3/4 inches longer than so-called "true draw"
(which is measured to the throat of the grip).


Stand flat against a wall and have someone mark the tips of your middle fingers
outstretched (wing span) and then measure that distance between the marks
with a tape. Take that measurement and subtract 15 inches and then divide that
number by two. This gives you your correct AMO draw, give or take 1/4".
On the bow, AMO draw length is the distance from the deepest
part of the grip to the apex of the string, at full draw, plus 1 3/4".

You measure true AMO from the deepest part of the nock to the
center of the burger button hole plus 1 3/4 inches. That is the draw length
cam that you want to order. This will bring it about 1/8 inch in front of
the riser."

Like I said it's just a starting point. After you get the bow set to this draw length you can adjust from there, longer/shorter. Hope this helps. Be safe.
