now get the same guys to measure fingertip to fingertip with arms spread out to their side....and correlate this to draw length and I think it would be more easily discernible.

though my draw changes from recurve to selfbow by an inch or slightly more.

also upright target stance versed bent at waist open stance makes difference.
Keep em sharp,

5'11.5" and I pull an honest 31", my wife is 5'9ish and pulls 29" on days she's not hurting.  We both have long arms, but trick is not to be overbowed and get your draw arm far enough back that your upper arm is inline with your torso. Most people don't do that.
