Thanks for the birthday wishes!

FF/EMT: You are always better off with a loop IMO because that puts your release directly behind the arrow, eliminating any nock pinch and string torque. I would definitely recommend you looking into getting a different bow if you can swing it, to get one in your real draw length. Using the loop to adjust teh draw length is ok for a temporary thing, but you will greatly improve your shooting if you have a bow that fits you better. I'm guessing you could get rid of your power tec pretty easily, and get into a Bowtech! J/K, I shoot Bowtech,l so I always push that way.
