Default RE: 5' 3" TALL 27" DRAW

In comparison to you, I am also 6' 2" , but I shoot either 32" or 33" draw in compounds. I shoot 31.5 in a longbow.

Default RE: 5' 3" TALL 27" DRAW

I am 6' 1" and shoot 29.5 - 29.75 inch draw.

Form can have a lot to do with it. More bend to the elbow - a lower grip - a little lean - head position - shoulder orientation, etc. can shorten/lengthen the draw quite a bit.

My guess is she shoots a very straight arm and is leaning back at full draw.

Default RE: 5' 3" TALL 27" DRAW

I am 5' 9" and shoot a 29" draw. I do not think height is the only factor. Usually the taller you ar the longer your arms are, but not every person that is 5' 3" has the same length arms. Form will also be a factor as stated before.

I would think that you would have a longer draw length being 6' 2" , but if the bow is comfortable and you shoot well I would not worry about messing with the set-up.

You are correct, that does come into play. I shoot 32-3" draw (depending on how the bow company measure their draw), am 6' 2" , a lot of people that are 6' 2" shoot around 30" draw, but I have very wide shoulders, and I take a 36" sleeve length.

Default RE: 5' 3" TALL 27" DRAW

I second that it has alot to do with arm length and shooting style. My best friend is 6' 3" and shoots a 32" draw and I am also 6' 3" but shoot a 28" draw length

Default RE: 5' 3" TALL 27" DRAW

5' 11" and I shoot a 26.5, I think most people shoot a draw length that is too long for themselves for hunting purposes.
