RE: Bad info from pro shop?
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.

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...

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.
