Default draw length?

How do you measure your draw length? Yeah, I know there's little bows at bow shops to measure it, but I mean besides that. I've tried the measuring your wingspan way but it didn't seem very accurate. Is there any other way?

Stand as if you were aiming your bow at the wall. With your bow hand, imagine the wall is the grip of your bow.....Stand perfectly straight, just like you would be shooting your bow, except you can leave your release arm at your side. Put your "bow hand" flush with the wall and have a buddy measure with a tape measure the distance from the wall to the corner of your mouth.

This method works well if your posture and stance are right.

No...make a fist with your bow hand, just like you would be holding your bow, and put your fist against the wall.

the wingspan method worked perfectly for me. but not everyone is built the same.

mobows method sounds like a good way to go about it...but your best bet is always the shop...
