Don't spend too much though, a great hunting bow is useless if you're stuck in the city with no car.

I'm hunting feral hogs in October, so I really want to on the money.

I have a wingspan of 72. That divided by 2.5 is 28.8.

I have short arms or something

Do I just round that up to 29

Tough call without being able to travel outside the city. But inside of town maybe hit up Wyld archery, wholesale north and Cabela's, see what they have for bows that fit you and maybe a tech you can trust.

Although I have no idea how they figured it out, I am 6'2" and have a 29.5" draw, everyone is unique, hunted with a guy that is 5'10" and is a knuckle-dragger (draw length of 30"!!)

I would agree with whoever said to go to a reputable archery shop, they should ALL be professionals on some level on some part of your archery setup. I shoot a 2013 Elite Pure - 36" ATA and it fits me well...Good Luck

The angle of the bow string is so severer that to stop from bending his head down to have his nose touch the string his draw length will have to be legthened to much; which will then lead to other form issues and left misses.
Nail on head.... has been hit!
