    Using the finger tip, to finger tip divided by 2.5 method of finding your draw length, I have come up with 28 inches.
    Should you account for your release? How much do you take away, if any?
    I have always just had my bows at 28, and it feels perfect. Do any of you accommodate for the release?

    If it feels perfect at 28 I'd leave it there. I don't compensate for my release but I do knock a half inch off for my string loop.

    That method may or may not work. You have to get fitted and find what works best.

    Middgle finger, tip to tip with your palms up, divided by 2.5 and then subtract 1/2" for your d-loop.... So in theory, start with 27.5 and see how it feels....

    That's a great draw lenght by the way - its mine too :-)

    if 28 feels good to you and you shoot fine with it then i say stick to it.
