By direct measurement and using the formula {power stroke + brace height + 1.75} my draw length is 29.25". This is pretty much in line with a height of 6'1".

However, wingspan is a much more accurate method to try and identify your draw length than height is. One formula for that is (wingspan - 15) divided by 2 = draw length. BUT that's just a ball park figure and there's more work to be done after that.

Based on the data that the various posters have put on here so far, as well as data I scrounged off another site, here's a graph pitting height against draw length. Note that, as expected, there's a linear concentration of values but there are also some flyers.

For example, someone who is 5'10" is very likely to have a draw length close to 28", but they vary from 27 to 29 in this sample set.

Im 6'2" with a draw of 30" and maxed at #60. I think I could stand for it to be a bit longer, but Im not going to, I like my bow.

Depending on how I setup the bow and what venue,loop and release etc,I am between 28 and 28 1/2".I have even shot 28 3/4" with a long a-a bow and a really short release and loop for some indoor 3-d and it was PERFECT.

I am shooting my bow right now on 28" but my loop is 7/8" to the string from the inside of the loop.I do that for anchors for my current bt release.
