wrong, divide it by 2.5 and you will be in the ball park

sorry, long time since I set my bow.

29 is far too long if you are 5'9". You will probably find that you are 27.5-28 depending on your wing span.

A good rule of thumb for DL is your wing span divided by 2.5 so in your case (assuming wingspan is your height) 69/2.5 = 27.6.

Hopefully your bow has adjustable DL cams Enjoy this sport its a fun one.

By that maths, my DL should be 31.6

Ya i shoot with a fella in my club with 31.5 dl and really envy the extra speed he gets because of it.

Tried to shoot his bow and its a beast for me as my anchor point ends up behind my ear.

it was way to long , but had a release aid added and length go draw fixed and this is my 1st day out group at 20 yards ish . thanks guys
