I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, some people are just different, but I think form can play a big part in your draw length.
I gained almost 2" in draw not by changing anchor but by just changing the muscles I used to draw the bow, I now focus on using my back muscles instead of my arms.

i always hear about back muscles and back tension when you draw, and i understand the concept. for example i was told to " hold an arrow out in front of you horizontaly and using both hands. now try and pull the arrow in different directions and you will feel your back muscles working. thats what it feels like when you use your back muscles to draw". i understand it, it just doesn't work for me. i try to push and pull at the same time when i draw. i just don't feel it. don't know what i'm doing or not doing. don

I have to agree with JimB and the others that have mentioned back tention & form.  Being quite new to this still, I have been finding my draw length has increased over the last month from 28" to a full 29".  I can 'overdraw' by really flexing the correct muscles and hyperextending to around 31" without moving my achor.  I have been doing it as an exercise & it really has strengthened my drawing muscles as well as made me more aware of them.  I am 6' tall with a 72" wingspan.

6'   with 29" draw

When I first started shooting trad, I was drawing 28"...as mentioned above, good form and back tension helped a lot. I "grew" an inch.
