At 6' 2" I shot about 27" for the longest time. But my shooting improved IMMENSLY when I stretched out to 30" :)

Suprising to  see these short  draws at these  body  height,
differences  in shooting form I guess?

I thought my draw was short at 26"  when seeing most bows on here tillered out to atleast 28".

I'm actually decently tall for my Vietnamese ethnicity at 5'6''.  Drawing 26" is my normal draw but sometimes draw 28" for distance shooting

5'10", 26" draw. I did a poll on here a year or two ago to see what everybody's draw length is, turned out that 28" isn't the standard draw that you would think it was from reading archery-related stuff. About 26" was by far the most common drawlength among the members of the board.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
