Now that your shooting a release your draw length is probalby too long....

When im hunting in cold weather i usually dont have this problem.
I agree.

I'd also like to add that I think most people would benefit by shortening their draws for their hunting rigs. I have an 81.5 in wing span andhave shot 32in (and some times 33in)bows my whole life. The last few years I switched to a 31indraw and found that it's a whole lot easier to get on target and into good shooting formno matter what angle or position I'm shooting from. I also have absolutely noissues with hitting my bulky winter clothes even while shooting from those awkward positions.

It has helped me tremendously and it goes to show that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks......well, not so old dog.
