I agree with mean vee , no way you are 27 inch draw , I have a wingspan of 70 inches , and my true dead on draw is 27 7/8s , I shoot a 28 inch bow .

Find a quality pro shop and have an archer whos been doing it for awhile set you up , its worth the cost , being misfit with a bow is like wearing the wrong size shoes only way worst .

Those guys wouldn't be there unless they ARE experts and have usually tried everything they stock and some things they deemed unsuitable to stock. In other words-if it don't work-they wouldn't stock it. There are exceptions based on personal preference.
In a perfect world that would be true. In the real world, they're selling what they got and I'm only aware of one company that will take back unsold stock, Darton Bows.

And to answer your original question... No, you'd have to be a human abnormality to shoot a 27" draw length at nearly 6'... I'm 5' 11" and comfortably shoot a 29" dl...belowis a 28.5" with a loop, and you'll see how much bend is in my arm at that dl...


Had to stick that Predator in there huh, Greg? LOL:D:D

YES, or you are shooting too long of a draw.

Todd's right.

That's not a slam against you personally, wis bow... but the word "abnormal" simply means "out of the normal range"... It's certainly not normal for someone who's 5'6" to shoot a 30" draw length. Heck, Matt / PA, who's won more state championships than I can count and has finished in the upper echelons of top shooters at Worlds, is 6'3" and shoots a 29.5" dl with a loop.
