5'9, 73 & change wingspan, but shoot 29 with a loop comfortably. (it would be 28.5 with a newer Mathews)

I don't know my wingspan, but the guy that coaches me a bit has me adjusted to 29 3/8 including the loop. I am 6.0 even and have really long monkey arms. Using the method that GRIV from Copper John uses, I should be 29.5 but 29 3/8" gives me a little less range of movement in my float without becoming jerky.

As you can see, there is some but not absolute relationships between draw length and height. I've had some customers who really broke the mold. 5'7" with a 30" DL, 6'7" with a 28" DL, and 6'1" with a 34" DL are just a few that come to mind.

Your best bet as a start is still the Wingspan method.

You guys are all a bunch of "bigfoots". I'm a little guy, 5' 3". I've been shooting a 27.5" draw length, however, just ordered a new Switchback XT today with a 26" draw length.
