Draw Length Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the draw length (DL) is:

\[ DL = \frac{WS - 15}{2} \]

Where:

\( DL \) is the draw length (inches)
\( WS \) is your wingspan (inches)

What is Draw Length?

Draw length is typically the distance from the nock point of your throat to the grip of the bow plus 1.75 inches. It is an important measurement for archers to ensure proper form and accuracy.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Wingspan (WS) = 70 inches

Using the formula to calculate the draw length:

\[ DL = \frac{70 - 15}{2} = \frac{55}{2} = 27.5 \]

The Draw Length (DL) is 27.5 inches.
