Yeah I am 6'9". The only bows I found that were legitimately long enough were about $900. I didn't care to spend that. As for the release not changing my draw, I greatly disagree. Watch me pull the bow without the release and with the release. If I keep my left elbow bent to the same degree, it is the difference between putting my right hand on my mouth, and below my ear in the pocket.
Unless I'm understanding you incorrectly, your right hand SHOULD be at your mouth. Ear is way too far back. Maybe this is the issue in not finding a draw length long enough...you're drawing too far back? Again, I could be misunderstanding you.
