I'm a bit over 6' and I shoot my bows at 28.5" with a loop.

I'm 6'4" or so and new to bowhunting, but the archery pro that I use set my bow at 30" draw plus a string loop.

At just under 6 feet I have been measured by three places now at 29 and using a loop. I actually shot a 27 today, just so I can feel how the new Defender works and there is just no way I could get used to shooting something that short. Also shot a 30 Old Glory and I felt like I had to reach back to the back wall of the lane to hit the stop. Just wanted to feel hand shock and stuff like that, you can only shoot what they have at the shop, suppossed to be getting more in later this week I think. I still might try a 28.5 one of these days just to see, but the 29's typically touch the corner of my mouth about perfectly sooo...

6'4" and shooting a 30 inch draw with no string loop. I still put a little bend in my elbow so I don't hit my forearm or sleeve when hunting or practicing. I shot a 29" draw all last year and had a pretty good bend in the elbow. It feels better to be out more this year vs. bringing the bow closer to my face. I guess I couldn't even imagine shooting anything as small as a 27". WOW!!!

I shoot 28" at 6'1". i think a lot of people are over drawn. You string should not touch your face, look at Randy Ulmer;).

Seriously, what do you guys eat for breakfast? I'm 5'6" with stubby arms...and I feel great with a 27" DL.

I didn't eat enough of it whatever it was. My brother is 6 6 and my dad and grandpa are 6 3.. Heck, grandma was 5 8...Didn't get the height, got the bad hair and eyes... Seems fair.
