Draw Length, Anyone seen this before?

[muzzyman88]

I set up my Vipertec Saturday and shot it pretty hard this weekend. My draw length is 28" with a loop. I noticed that i felt uncomfortable at this setting. It seemed too short for me. I checked and double checked that I was on the right draw setting on each cam to verify I set it correctly. I finally moved my draw up one and moved it to 28.5 and it felt a lot better.

Is this a thing with short bows? Or, could my draw length have changed some since last? I shot my old bow Hoyt Cybertec right up to the week I sold it. Its set at 28 as well and fits good.

Just wondering if I'm going nuts or something with short bows and longer draw lengths.

You cannot trust the stickers on most bows, you have to actually measure draw length. The newer bows are getting much better in this respect much due to complaints about long drw lengths (mainly to get spped up for their ratings). I have seen many bows run much longer than stated and even bows by the same mfgr with the same sticker be different.

Is the string and cable lenghth correct?

Assuming the bow is the correct length....Two things I noticed about draw length... First is that if you draw and anchor with the string touching your nose, the shorter ata bows will need a longer draw to do this. Maybe too long. Second, is the "wrist" position of the bow. A bow with a high wrist grip will need to be a little longer (mine is about 3/8") than a bow with a low wrist grip.

This is exactly what I was going to post.
