Gibblet, I agree with you 100%. Draw length is so overlooked. I learned this the hard way myself. Its amazing how much better one can shoot with a proper draw, and shoot consistently. On my Colorado trip, I watched another archer on their range that had such a short draw that his string stopped a full 1" before it even reached his face! He was only using his release as a anchor point. Needless to say he was pretty inconsistant at 30 plus yards.
I didn't fill any tags, but I had a awesome time. I had a nice 6x6 bull only a few ft from meeting my arrow. It was great, our outfitter, and guide were terrific. It was well worth the trip, and were def. going back.
Word of advice on Poison Ivy. Next time you get into it. Immediately jump in the shower, and wash down good with soap. I'm highly allergic to it, and anytime gotten into it in past several yrs, this is what I do. I rarely get it now if I washup asap.
