RE: Draw Length Poll
 

30" = Draw length
75" = Tall
75 3/4"= Relaxed wingspan
I use a Scott "Rhino" release and string loop as well.

ABM, 27" sounds quite a bit short for your dimensions.....you ever try a 28.5/29" bow?

RE: Draw Length Poll
 

Matt, that is one of the main reasons that I'm asking this and gathering info on peoples size vs draw lengths. I used to have a 28&quot; draw, but it was probably closer to 29&quot;, with a release and a ultra nock.
The pro shop that I went to measured me out to 27&quot;, and oddly enough had the bow that I wanted with a 27&quot; cam, but none with a 28&quot; cam.
I plan to try out some 28&quot;ers here in the near future, and might buy a new cam for my bow, or sell the one I have and buy a new bow all together.

I do feel like I have a short draw length, but I group well with it, and it feels a lot better than too long of a draw length. More questions to probably follow on the tech forum.

RE: Draw Length Poll
 

Height = 66.5&quot;
DL = 28&quot; + 0.5 loop: 28.5&quot;
Wingspan = 70.48&quot;
Release = Scott Lil' goose
String loop = yes

I think I'm to long. I am going to drop my draw to 28&quot;, 27.5&quot; + o.5&quot; loop, and see how it feels.
I also think I just killed the height average on the board as well.

RE: Draw Length Poll
 

Ok......Thus far I've tallied some interesting results.
First of all.....the people who responed must be the &quot;Freaks and Geeks&quot; of bowhunting, because so far the &quot;Average&quot; human being is not well represented!!
Look no further than &quot;Arthur P&quot; and &quot;jsasker&quot; at 78&quot; tall apiece......that's 6'6&quot; to you guys that can't divide!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

ANyway....the results:

1) Of the (33) people who responded to &quot;Height&quot; the average height = 72.03&quot; or 6'

2) Of the (21) people who responded to &quot;Wingspan&quot; the average wingspan = 74.79&quot; WHich was a bit surprising......bunch of knucle draggers.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
This number can then be used to determine the &quot;Estimated Average Draw Length&quot; for these 21 individuals......this = 29.89&quot;

3) Of these people who responded to &quot;Draw LEngth&quot; I am only factoring the same people who included Wingspan for the sake of comparison......get a tape measure people!.
Anyway......the &quot;Average ACTUAL Draw Length&quot; that these same 21 people are shooting comes out to = 29.69&quot;

SO it appears that even though wingspan is slightly higher proportionately to height......the &quot;Estimated&quot; and &quot;Actual&quot; draw lengths that people should be shooting VS. what they actually are shooting is pretty darn close.

If it wasn't for ABM screwing it up with his 27&quot; draw on a 73.5&quot; wingspan it may have worked out exactly the same.......so either we half way know what we are doing, or somebody set your bows up correctly.

(I had a little time to kill):)

RE: Draw Length Poll
 

Well, thanks Matt for putting the numbers together. Saved me some time! <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

Interesting results so far. If I stretch I can add an extra inch to my wingspan, so I would put a +/- of 1&quot; for that average. As for draw lengths, I'm starting to feel that I must look like cupid drawing a bow! Time to get the right set up for myself. How much do you think a 1&1/2 seasoned Q2XL would go for? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Should be 28&quot; but I can and am shooting 29&quot;
