I'm just starting to get into bow hunting, and i am in the market for a bow, so i measure my draw length and its 32.8 inches, using arm span/2.5  so who makes one this long?  

Thanks

Long draw bows

One other thing to consider, draw lengths usually run longer than what the manufacturer claims it to be, plus your string will stretch over time.  It is better to be a little short than long with DL.  A 32" with a loop would probably be right on the money, but I would have a couple shops check your length, it is suprising the differences you can hear.

If you're going to shoot a release that will also change your draw-length. When I used to work on bows, I only had one or two customers that even had a 31" draw length and they were huge. Most men only need about 28-30.

It'll change your anchor point, but not your actual draw length.

It's a very common misconception -- one that I have even been guilty of.

If you find a bow with a 31" draw length and shoot a string loop, that will get you closer.

Martin makes bows that have a draw length of 32".Goodluck.
