I have not and will never concider Bass Pro to be a Pro Archery shop.
The guys they have working there where probably in another section yesterday and will be in another section tomorrow.
Take what your told from these guys with a ton of salt, best bet is to go to a "TRUE" Archery Pro Shop

Whatever extra you MIGHT pay at a local archery shop is money well invested in getting cheap insurance on your purchase. Think nothing is going to go wrong on Nov. 12th in the middle of the rut? Want to be dealing with a cust serv. rep. at Bass Pro or Cabelas when your limbs crack? Not me!

I'm 6'1" with a 73" wingspan as well and I shoot 29.5"
I'm 6'6" with an 83" wingspan and shoot 33". Subtract 16 from your wingspan and divide by 2. That's about the best method you can use to come up with an estimated draw length.

I'd say with a 73" Wing Span 29" draw would be a good place to start. If you are shopping at Bass Pro don't forget to check out the Diamond line by BowtechSome top quality bows at very affordable prices

Shooting with a D-loop........take 73 in wing span divide by 2.5 = 29.2 in draw length. I bet I'm real close. When you measure the wing span, don't stretch, just stand normally.
If shooting fingers: take wing span minus 10 then divide by 2. 73-10=63/2=31.5

Mine changes throughout the year. Gets shorter during hunting season whenmy sleeve starts getting hit.
I've never been in a shop run bypro, large or small, chain or family. You have to know what you want in any of them. I've been in one owned by one but not run by one. It's one of those big dissapointments in life. Can't blame any of them though. I blame the manufactures.

When you go to an actual pro shop,you are buying products and getting all that hard learned experience free!
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.
