DRAW LENGTH SELECTION

Choosing the proper draw length is very important due to its affect on one's form. Too long of a draw length and the person will be outstretched, holding arm locked; pushing arrows to that side during the shot. Too short of a draw and you will over stress the holding arm's elbow while the drawing arm fights to settle in to its anchoring point.

One of the most accurate methods in finding a proper draw length is the "Arm Span" method. This method will give you a good starting draw length. Shoot at this draw length and if you have proper form and feel like adjusting longer or shorter, by all means, experiment; This is just a starting point.

**SUGGESTION- To find your ultimate draw length, get your hands on a bow with a cam or cams that allow you to change the draw length in 1/4 to 1/2 inch incriments. Shoot multiple 300 rounds (or record your accuracy by your own method) and study how you performed at the different draw lengths. When you find your "golden draw length", have a friend measure from the crotch of your grip to the string at the nocking point when you are at full draw and record it. This is your best true draw length. This "true draw length" will vary between manufacturers on bows which claim to have the same draw length. Something to consider.

HOW TO FIND YOUR DRAW LENGTH

Stand normally and outstretch your arms, palms forward. Arms should be in line with each other. Have a friend measure from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger and record measurement. Divide this number by 2.5 and this will be your starting draw length. If you plan on shooting a D-Loop, you can subtract a half inch from the number.
