Draw Release For Free

So the release length has no effect on the Draw Length of the bow. But it does affect shooting form....anchor point, arm angle, head position, and etc.

Your release does not alter your draw length. It will affect your anchor point. The reason people increase draw length when switching to a handheld release, is to maintain the normal anchor point, rather than learn a new anchor point.

To measure your draw length, stand with your back to a wall stretching your arms out against the wall. Measure the distance from the end of your middle finger to the end of your other middle finger, basically the length of both arms, hands and chest. This measurement, minus 15 then divided by 2, is your draw length.
