You know... I could probably draw further, but 30" is comfortable, and at my age (50), I'm pretty happy to be able to do what I'm doing. I have 31" arrows (they're the ones Cam is shooting) and I just struggle to get them all the way back to the head. 90@30 seems to be what I can comfortably do. I can shoot 100#, but it seems to be a pretty big jump. I have a 110# maple/yew, and I can't seem to get it back past about 28". 20# doesn't sound like much, but it sure seems to be at 30"!!

Ian.:
Given the draw the distance is more impressive. I tend to think 5-10 yards an inch as a rough guess.

I was about to post some of those pics but it looks like you beat me to it :)  I had a blast this morning, it's just too bad my back wasn't cooperating long enough to get a few more rounds out.

Adam, you forgot to mention the 4 mule deer that were grazing around the corner of that bush behind me in the pics.  Man, it was really tempting to fling one over in their general direction  ;)

What a great day!

Yup... just off to our right, there were 4 mule deer eating the fresh new green stuff between the old rows of wheat stubble. This is in a field 5 blocks from my house... still in the city limits. Deer everywhere!
