[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1665908, member: 110162"] The truly sad thing with figuring your drawlength out and picking a bow is, you very seldom get a true drawlength from even the highest end bows . By that I mean you can take a 29" draw bow from each of the big name bow manufacturers and actually measure the draw length and they will all be different! Best to find a bow that's in your ballpark draw length that feels good in your hands, try it roughly setup to make sure the release cycle is to your liking. Then , at the shop that REALLY knows their stuff, have them tweak the drawlength and your form till everything falls into place. As you become more proficient with it, you will most likely want to tweak the peep height, drawlength, or/and draw weight . It's different than tweaking handloads for your pet rifle, but every bit as involved. Think of it like this , the bow is the powder, the arrow is the bullet, and YOU ARE THE STOCK BEDDING AND BARREL . We all know how important a good barrel is to accuracy. Difference is, with a rifle you buy the quality and accuracy. With a bow, you practice to make it more accurate . Consistent hand placement on the grip, consistent and precisely repeatable ancor point, consistent and repeatable sight picture, and consistent muscle tension in your arms and shoulders will put a Brux or Krieger on your bow !
