Determining draw length

(1/4) > >>

Kc_Kracker:
 What is the best method? I seen a couple videos online that say measure your wingspan middle fingertip to tip and then divide by 2.5 is that considered the best method?

Old Dog:
Yes.  Very accurate.  It's the method I used when I was a working bow tech. 

Longfield1:
Handheld and wrist releases also change your draw length. From my Stan element its about a 1/2" longer than my Carter RX1.

Really?  :bash:

IFunk:
This can vary greatly depending on your anchor.  I don't shoot wheel bows, but a good way to measure is come to full draw and have a friend mark your arrow about 1/2" from the back of the bow.  This is the side of the bow not facing you.  Then let down or shoot your arrow and measure from the valley of the nock to the mark on your arrow.  This is your draw length.
