If you used that diagram to get your draw length then that would be your (amo) draw length. Providing you did it correctly. The easiest way is to draw the bow with a long arrow in it and have someone mark the arrow right above where you grip the bow. Then add 1.75 inches to that and that is your AMO draw length.

So am I correct to assume your draw length is 31 inches measuring that way? If so what method did you use to come up with the 33 inches you listed. It is partly my fault, I made a typo when I asked for your specs. I meant for measured draw and AMO draw to be the same. I was supposed to cut one of the lines and forgot[]. I just wanted to make sure you had the correct draw length and not just what the bow said. You cannot always go by the cams, sometimes they are not right. It is better to actually measure it to be sure.

I think you actually draw 30 or 31 inches, because if it is 33 inches you would have to have your rest set up with some overdraw to shoot a 29 inch arrow. You can probably get a little out of that rest, but I don't think that much. I've never seen that rest up close though.

I am glad you decided to get different arrows as well. Another suggestion I would make is to not use too different set ups. You said something about using a 55 head for one thing and then a 100 grn head for something else. You should just pick one and compromise. The speed difference will not be that big from one to the other, but the tune and FOC might be.

I would say if you want a light small diameter head go with an 85 grn head, that way it will be easier to get the heads and practice points. Just make sure your not real light on FOC, which I don't think you will be with that light of arrows.
