Switchback=7"
Switchback XT= 7 1/2"
Switchback LD= 9"

I agree the LD should be very forgiving, but with a 295 ibo??

I've got a bow with an 8" brace and yes it is very forgiving, but I could race the arrows to the target.

One things for sure, you won't be getting your sleeve caught up in the string.
