Default I need help guys...

Im trying to figure out if I messed up on buying my bow with the wrong draw lenght... Im not very tall but have long arms... I got a 29" draw lenght but wondering if I should have got a 28" cam...

so my question is what is the best way to determine my draw length? (besides going back to the bowshop and pulling the draw lenght bow)

The 29 does feel comfortable to me but im worried when Im up in the tree...

thanks in advance everyone.

Recommend taking a picture of yourself at full draw and posting it - if you want to solicit opinions on your length.
Many people are overdrawn. If the bow is comfortable, shoots well and the string is not hitting your hyper extended bow arm, then you are OK.

If you bought the bow at a shop, then it istheir fundamental responsibility to ensure the draw length is correct.

Go back to the bow shop and have them measure it. As long as they know what they are doing they can figure it out.

dont think that just because you are short that it might be to long for you. im 5 6 and i shoot a 29 in mathews. i would recommend going back to the dealer and have him check it if your not 100% sure
