If ya'll don't mind...
 
I'm just tinkering around with some numbers and doing some research. I know draw length is discussed quite a bit around here, but if you wouldn't mind, just vote here letting me know what your draw length is. If you want to comment about it, that's fine, I'm interested in your thoughts as well. But even if you don't comment, please click on the appropriate option. Thank you in advance for your input. I will probably bump this for several days I'm wanting as many as I can get to make this more accurate.

28.5" I can shoot both 29" and 28.5", but I feel overall the 28.5" is more comfortable.

The poll is showing what I found when I looked into this as well over a year ago for the shop I used to help at. We sold a LOT more29" bows than anything else out there.

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
I shoot 30", but could shoot 31. I just like to have the extra sleeve clearance when I put on more layers for cold weather, and to me it feels more natural.

So you better not tell me my draw length is too long.:D

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
I'm between 25.5 and 26 inches. You might want to consider adding a 25.5 and 25 inch option, I believe we have some members with short draw lengths.

You should be shooting about 29". You have short arms, I on the other hand have the arms of an ape 5'8" with a 5'11.5" wing span . lmao:D

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
I measure 28.5" but shoot 29".

Dubbya 05-19-2008 05:52 PM

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
I'm a true 29.5" so I shoot a 29 with a short D-loop. Also, I'll say that I have to use a release which doesn't make me lose any draw length.

If I have to use a release that has the trigger set back from the jaw, I have to shoot a shorter draw.

BowHuntingFool 05-19-2008 06:00 PM

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
My DL on my Longbow is 27.5" and my Compound is 28".

I think YooperMike is indeed 6'7"

I'monly 6'4" however, but I have a fairly long wing span (82in);)

TEmbry 05-19-2008 10:40 PM

RE: If ya'll don't mind...
 
6'1" maybe 6"2" here....My bow is set at 29" with a short d-loop and a release with a trigger right on the jaw. It feels comfortable to me.

I think alot of shops push through 29", because it is what is in stock as the common size...regardless if it fits perfectly or not. I bought my hoyt at 29" knowing full well it was too long at the purchase, but we mutually agreed "I would grow into it"[&o] Luckily for me, I did.:D;)
