Hello, I was just wondering what is the best and most precise way to measure wingspan as I've measured mine I came across results that waren't consistent. Every time I measure it comes out different.

Quote from: Tall on July 16, 2014, 04:06:37 PMI too get different results based on which direction I'm facing. Also, is wingspan intended to be the measurement of armspan with arms stretched out as far as they possibly can go, or just perpendicular to the standing body, but without strain or excessive stretching?


Hey Tall, I really don't know but I'm guessing that the method with arms streched out as far as they can possibly go is the correct way to measure because you don't measure your height relaxed(at least i don't). You stand tall and try to get the maximum height, because after all you don't measure a car by it's lowest speed but with it's highest but that's just my opinion. Best way to measure wingspan

I would have to agree, now that I think about it some friends of mine have really short looking arms but when i measured them they were quite long. And if you're wondering "this guys measures his friends", yes I do hahaha, I'm a really anoyng person Best way to measure wingspan

Btw, I measure my wingspan without stretching my arms as you don't stretch your arms downwards even if you're walking tall!  Best way to measure wingspan


I agree with you about that lol. xD But now that we know we can't help but think about it. As for the armspan or wingspan I just measured mine with full extension and it came out 184 and without extension just spread my arms without any effort and it came out 183.4. Not really a big difference.

At what point do you think it becomes noticable, 5cm less than height, 10, 15? Just wanna hear your opinion. Best way to measure wingspan
