Krueger, I would suggest you visit a quality pro shop and have the bow set up for you. There are many things to consider in calculating draw length. If you shoot fingers style a longer draw length is common. When shooting a release aid there are many variables. The type of release if you hook to the string or a string loop and where your anchor point is comfortable to you. Take the time to try different manufacturers' products. A quality pro shop will fit a bow for you to try. You'll know when you found the right bow. It will feel natural to you. If you have a particular manufacturer in mind try to find a web page on their products. Than contact one of the suggested dealers that handle you choice. It beats spending a wad of money on a bow that doesn't fit or you are not comfortable with.
