Default went to the bow shop today

Good news is we managed to get the draw length to fit me. But we had to take off the D loop so I know after time my release is going to eat my string.

Bad news is, it needs to be about 1 more inch shorter but theres nothing we can do. Can't change cams on a PSE NOVA unless you change the limbs. So basically I am stuck with it. He did install a better peep sight and this one doesn't twist around like the last one did. And showed me that I need to get a new string because mine is cut............thats because "I" took the old peep sight off. Lessoned learned, I know.

Sell it and get the proper draw length bow , shooting a bow 1 inch too long is not what you want to do . It will teach you bad habits from the begining , and you will not be shooting anywhere near your potintial .

You may want to contact Loesch Grips. They may be able to make a custom grip that may help. This would however, lower your brace height and effect the reflex of the bow a bit. Always trade offs.

I totally agree with ijimmy sell the bow and get one that fits you.

Ask the guy at the Pro Shop if he will take it as a trade in on a new bow.

There is no way I would even concider shooting a bow that does not fit me.

Yes you will probably pay a little more for a bow at the Pro Shop but that also has it's advantages in service and technical knowledge.

utm aka John Doe,

You need to fill out your profile so we know who we're talking to. Anyway, I following your progress. There is something you might try, being as you have to change the string anyway. Put a string on 1/2" shorter than what it calls for and then put about 10-15 more twists in the string. This will shorten the drawlength. It will also drop the peak weight of the bow. If you can you can adjust the weight with the limb bolts.

What is the weight range of the bow and what are you currently shooting it at?

I am currently shooting at 70 pounds without a problem pulling it back. The range is 60-70 pounds.
