Is anybody apart of the Archery Talk forum? I went to join up because I had a question about getting myself a new Hoyt and they made me have a parent or guardian fax in a paper saying I am of age. Sorry Archery Talk I am an adult the date of birth you asked for showed that.

My question is can any of you that are on that forum post for me or answer my question here.

I am looking at getting the Hoyt Nitrum 34 or turbo. My wingspan measures to 75" and by figuring out draw length that puts me at 30". I normally use a d loop for my release so I was looking at 29.5". I am not sure which cam I should go with the #2 or #3. The turbo I would have to go with a #3 cam but on the 34 I could get a #2 and be at the max length.

Anybody help me out here?

The only way to really know your length is have someone measure it. Probably best to go to a pro shop. If you know someone who KNOWS what they are doing that could work as well

I was able to figure it out and get onto archerytalk. Will be going with either the Nitrum 34 or Turbo with the #3 cam.

I just got a Nitrum 30. I am a 29" draw. The cam I got is the 28-30" and I believe its the 2nd one. Sorry forgot which they called it.
Now for sure get your draw check. What I do is have someone stand sideways to a wall, then stretch their bow arm out, the one holding the bow, straight to the wall with your fist flat against it. Now have a slight bend in your arm cause nobody shoots straight armed and you want the bend like a shock absorber. SO then have someone measure from your fist against the wall, take the tape measure from the wall to the corner of your mouth. That's how I always come up with ones draw length.
I have a loop as well on mine and have it tied as small as I can so there is smallest gap from the string to the caliper head. Having a draw length too long is bad, its better to be short than long any day. You will have more control.
What I would do if you want to be certain, is go to a dealer with your release. Draw a 29" and a 30" both back. Honestly I don't know if they come in a half inch increment. But I would go draw those 2 draw lengths back and go from there.
