Short Draw?
« on: January 06, 2010, 08:17:30 AM »
I'm just curious, I'm 6 feet tall and have a 25" draw. I'm not going to change my style or anything, just wondering how many others have a short draw for their height? Or maybe it really isn't that short of a draw for my height?

And here I thought I was abnormal!
I am 5'6" with a 22 inch draw.
My husband and our other archery friends make fun of my arrows,
calling them bolts or hobbit arrows!
It's nice to know Im not alone. :)
