thanks,

To find out your approx. draw length hold a tape measure in your bow hand and then pull the tape measure as you would a bow string to the corner of your mouth. Make sure you are standing as if you were going to shoot.
For arrow length add approx 2" to draw length.
If you have access to trying a trad bow do this first, and try to find a anchor position that suits you, as well as a shooting stance.
Though you may eventually change position and anchor, it works well as a starting reference.
Bow length will depend on your draw length, height and bow type/bow brand.
But the bowyers or salesmen will know more that me if you give them a call
Hope this helps!
Enjoy, and shoot straight
