I'm 5'10 or 5'11 depending on the gas station I'm leaving but I have weirdly long arms so I draw an honest 30. Medium cant, split finger with my middle finger in my mouth corner as an anchor.

I draw 36"-38" depending on the bow style (Hun bows can basically be drawn forever) and the available arrow shafting material.  Generally no cant, Asian style archery with thumb ring and draw past corner of my mouth (as I was taught so long ago.)

Matthew, I know what you mean. I'm 5'9 but my wingspan is 6'1 and draw 28 1/4" with a slight cant.

29.5 inch draw. It has gone down a little.

I'm 5'11" with long arms, I draw an honest 29".
   I also cut my BOP to 29"....As mentioned above, I don't want extra hanging out there....
   I shoot a HHA Big 5 and I cant the bow.

I am right at 6' and my measured DL is just a tad over 29".

Up till a coup[le years ago my DL was barely over 28". Then I went to the Rod Jenkins clinic and learned how to use my back muscles properly. That made my DL increase to what it is today a bit over 29"!

I'm 5'10" now, have shrunk over the years, have wide shoulders and long arms, I hold my bow vertically, anchor in the corner of my mouth, and draw 30" to the front of the rest, have just enough clearance for a broadhead.

With a heavy cant anchor middle finger on my top eye tooth I draw a tad over 30" AMO. I shot a shorter draw for years (Hill style) but I was able to keep my power up when dropping weight by using my back a little more and bringing my elbow aorund.

Del Savio

Everything has shrunk a bit over the years.  At 5'91/2 "today down from 5'11' my draw length is now a good 26'!! Oh what I would have given for longer arms.

32.5"
33" carbon arrow shafts are hard to come by... and expensive! Maxima Blue Streaks are about the only option I can find.
6'4" and ape arms.

Depends on the bow, for me. With a straight grip, low wrist longbow I'm around 30-1/2. My preferred grip however, is a very high wrist & that puts me at 31-1/2.

I used to have issues determing my true draw lenght. My draw lenght is 30,5" if I measure it with tape measure. If I calculate it by measuring the distance between my finger tips and divide it by 2,5 it is 30" (75" / 2,5 = 30").

When in reality my draw lenght with low wrist grip longbow is 29,5". So, it depends on your shooting style mostly, I guess.
I'm 6'1".
Bigfoot Sasquatch SS 62" 60#
Martin Hunter 62" 55#
Mukkanuoli Toorum 60" 56#
Falco Trophy  68" 44#

RecurveRookie

I am 5'8" and draw 27.5".  I really stretch to get all the back tension, and speed I can.
Maddog Mountaineer 57# and Prairie Predator 52# Wow!, Samick Sage 35 - 60#,  I'm learning.
