My draw is 31" with a recurve and almost 30 1/2" with a straight handled longbow. I prefer 66" recurves and 68-70" longbows. I've only owned 1 hybrid and it was 64" and felt too short to me.

28.5 draw on a 62" curve and a 65" longbow

Draw 27" like a 56" bow but I do all my shooting sitting.

I like 62" recurves for my 29" draw, and on my Hill style longbows I draw 28" and though I have a couple of 66"ers, I will not purchase any more that are not at least 68" long.

I draw 31" & shoot a 62" 63# Morrison Cheyenne, a 62" 63# Morrison Shawnee, 64" 63# 'boo backed Ipe R/D longbow I built & a 64" 63# Sunbear recurve.

Can you see the theme here..... :D

I like a 64" LB for my 27-28" draw.

Easykeeper · « **Reply #28 on:** May 22, 2011, 01:58:00 PM »

I draw 29" and have a 64" Blacktail TD, a 60" Dale Dye TD, and a 60" McCullough 59'er. I shoot all comfortably, all are about 55"@28".

First it depends a lot on the bows design! That said here are 3 of mine. 54" RER Arroyo, 58" RER XR and a 58" Belcher all drawn to 28.5"s. Shawn

30 1/2" draw with a 62" Toelke whip. It works well for me.

31" draw...prefer my 70" longbows.

Own (2) 66" & (3) 68" all Hills/style.

thank you all for your post, this helps me kinda get a fix on draw length vs. bow length. Kinda interesting but a lot of people seem to go as long as they can unless they mentioned from shooting from a seated position then it is short.

longer the bow smoother the draw and the shorter bow stacks faster and string pinch.

Ben Maher · « **Reply #34 on:** May 22, 2011, 07:33:00 PM »

I draw around 27" - 27 1/2" and much prefer a 'longer' bow .

My Belcher Union Jacks and Hills 66" and 68's

My R/D Widow Longbows 64"

My recurves ... 62"

Rackman · « **Reply #35 on:** May 22, 2011, 08:10:00 PM »

About a 26 1/2" draw, 55lbs Widow PSAV 58"

1) Right now I've only got one bow. It's a 52" Toelke recurve. I draw 29".

2) My previous bow was a Toelke Whip. It was 60". It was long enough, but too heavy for me.

3) My brother has a 64" Whip. I love shooting that thing. My next longbow will be 62-64"

Mike Vines · « **Reply #37 on:** May 22, 2011, 10:07:00 PM »

All 64" bows in my arsenal, and currently my draw length is a staggering 6". I get the results of my MRI on Tuesday, and hopefully I can get back to my normal 27 1/2" draw.

My main bow is a 62" Dwyer Defiant longbow. I draw 30".

rdoggsilva · « **Reply #39 on:** May 22, 2011, 11:52:00 PM »

27.5" draw, bows from 56" to 64" recurves.
