Measuring Draw Length

[Patriot-2000]

My "Little Girl" ... Actually only @1" shorter than Mom has outgrown her Bear Brave II Bow. So I'm looking for a Bow to Fit Her (Birthday in August).

Question: How do I determine her Draw Length by measuring Arm Span ...
I know the standard method in Bow shops but just wondering so I can start shopping ...

finger tip to finger tip divided by 2.5

Another way is "wingspan minus 15" divided by 2. Both ways get you close but differences in arm length, shoulder width can lead to slight variances.

What JimmyO said. Don't forget to compensate if your using a loop.
