RE: What is your Draw Length?
I'm 6'3.5" (75.5") tall, and with a release and d-loop my draw length is 29". If I shot without the loop it'd be 29.5",and with fingers 30". I can't help but wonder how many people shoot a bow with too longa draw length. I'm almost 6'4" and I'm at 29", yet there are guys who are 6' or shorter shooting 29" or more, and guys who are my same height shooting 33"!
I'm sure that there aregoing to be anatomical variations from person to person,but 3" in either heightor draw length is alarge difference.I was measured at 29"by at least 5differenttechs, so I know I'm right on. I was also toldby several of the techs that itis far better tohave a1" too short draw length than 1/2" too long. Said it wrecks your form. And I know this is very true for me. I'vetest fired bows from 27" to 30" and I can shootthe 27" bows a whole lot better than the 30" DL.
