3/4 or 4/4?

Irrespective of size of bass,

How many of you full size adult humans use a 3/4 bow.

Mine is a 3/4 and it struck me as a bit short..... If a put it in my quiver I have to stretch to get out again.....

I don't know how the official sizes are determined, but my favorite bow is relatively short and light, plus it has a really comfortable frog. And it's not an heirloom by any wild stretch of the imagination. If something happened to it, I am not sure what I'd do.
