Hill Shooters Wingspan/ Draw length

[dragonheart]

Okay fellow Hill Style enthusiasts.  I am trying to obtain accurate data for a chart that gives a baseline for the wingspan and equal draw length shooting the Hill Style.  

Wingspan is measured in the front with arms extended from tip to tip of longest finger.  

Draw length is from measured bottom of nock groove to the back of the bow (side facing target not belly).  

If you are pretty comfortable with your Hill style shooting form and bow arm, post your info.  

Really interested to see where people fall.  I know this is only and average, as some people are longer on one side or the other.

With my back to the wall and not fully stretched, the wingspan is 70 5/8"

The drawlength, after a dozen or so shots, is 27". The bow has a locator grip that is approximately 1/8" deep.

77" span, 30.5 draw (which varies a little depending on the thickness of the riser)

Are you going to calculate a drawlength to wingspan ratio? You do know you're going to get a bunch of folks riled up, don't you?

My wingspan is 70 1/4" and I draw my Hill to 27"

[Ben Maher]

my wingspan is just on 70" and I draw just on 27"

[Berliner]

My wingspan is 78". Drawlength with my Jerry Hill (Dished Grip depth at riser 2 1/8") is 29.5-30". With a r/d LB I draw 31"

My wingpan is 72.5" and I draw 26,5 to 27" when actually shooting a multple of arrows. If I just draw the bow, I can draw("stretch") 28"-28.5" but it depends on the grip and isn't natural/comfortable. I got too much "slop" in all my old joints.

75.5" here for the wing span and I only draw 27"-27.25". I think I'm a little short on my draw due to a birth defect in my shoulder and surgery last year to repair a torn labrum.

I can easily draw longer but that's what it is when I shoot.

[tadpole]

74.5" here and draw 27.5"

[Al Dean]

77" here and I draw 29 1/2 -30"

[Jon Powell]

wing span 75"
draw 28.5"

[Bob B.]

Wing span 75 3/4"
Draw 29" with my Hill's, 30 inches with a recurve.

72 wingspan and 27 1/2 draw

Keep the info coming.  You guys are drawing alot longer than I would have expected in relation to wingspan.  Anyone know what Howard Hill's wingspan was?  John Schulz?  I think Pavan told me once.

[smoke1953]

70", 27 1/4"

[cbCrow]

71 3/4", 28"

[dragonheart]

I am 71" and draw right at 26".  Straight, slight dish handle, heel down grip.  This is bent arm, relaxed shot, swing up, no lock or hold just fluid movement thru.

74" wing

26.5" draw with palm heel down, elbow slightly bent

Anchor shooting two under is middle finger touching mouth corner.

Yardstick - 25.75" +/-

I’m confused, what’s wing span have to do with your draw length?.....stabow

[Bud B.]

According to his first post I gathered he's trying to come up with and average formula. Probably just tinkering with an idea...
