Default Draw Length Poll

What is your draw length?
Also include the following info...

Height
Relaxed Wingspan
Release, use or don't use
String Loop, use or don't use

My info is as follows:

27" draw length
73" tall
73&1/2" relaxed wing span
I use both a release and a string loop

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?

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.
