Things do change over the years. I used to be a bit under 6', but now at 64 am just under 5'11". Weighed 150 out of high school, just about 200 now(it is coming down-ok?). The length of the forearm is well over 15 1/2", the arm pit to finger tip is over 32. Added to a long neck I should probably be using longer stocks, but get along pretty well at 13.75-14" especially with cold weather clothes on.
