Great info. Very comprehensive.
Just beware that the draw length measuring formula doesn't work more often than it is right. It doesn't take the release into account, and each different release can cause one to need a different draw length as well. If you will shoot with a loop on the string it changes it more. The draw length has to line up your your body in the position that will get the most accuracy by duplicating the shot exactly each time, which is done the easiest by working off the bone structure and keeping the muscles out of the shot. 1/4" can make a big difference in the way the bones line up. Also, most bow companies don't stick to the AMO standard for measuring a bow, so you may need a different length in various bows. If you can't try the bow before you buy it to be sure it fits right, buy one that is adjustable, and will adjust a bit below and above your estimated draw length:roll:
