how many people shoot 28'' draw?
« on: February 28, 2009, 08:55:00 AM »
I'm curious what peoples draw lengths are, I have a long draw at about 32'' and both my brothers as well as my dad are around 30'' I know the standard length for measuring is @28 I'm interested to know how many people are around that length, vs more or less. thanks

Mine is 27-1/2.  I can easily add about one inch if I close my stance, and reduce it by opening up my stance.  I don't know if this would be considered cheating at a 3D shoot...

depends on the bow. Hill draw length is shorter than on recurves.
