Default draw

okay, my bow i adjusted the draw length by a half inch and when i draw it back, if i easy up just the least little bit the bow snaps back down, then i have to draw it again. How can i fix this or is this normal

Are you saying that the valley has shortened?

I'm not going to ask why you increased the drawlength. I'll just say that most likely it's too long for you now. That's why when you creep just a bit the bow want to go. Your draw should be short enough to allow for the creep. Better yet, if you learn to set the bow right and shoot correctly then you NEVER creep once you start drawing the bow. Some of this can be learned in a book entitled "Core Archery" by Larry Wise.
