I'm curious what peoples draw lengths are, I have a long draw at about 32'' and both my brothers as well as my dad are around 30'' I know the standard length for measuring is @28 I'm interested to know how many people are around that length, vs more or less. thanks

Mine is 27-1/2. I can easily add about one inch if I close my stance, and reduce it by opening up my stance. I don't know if this would be considered cheating at a 3D shoot...

Like you, 28" PLUS 4" more.... :scared: I'm in the same boat as you, but bows are not too hard if ya really do your homework. You aren't going to find them in the classifieds, so the wallet gets slammed each time with a new bow invoice.
