Alright guys I have been playing with this bow for about 3months now, and the more I play and tinker the more I like it. The last bit of tinkering I did, seemed to have found a sweet spot. I had originally ordered a 28.5" bow. And after weeks of playing, and pulling my hair out I decided to try to tinker with my draw, I had a very reputable target shooter help me a little bit because I couldn't get my bow to tear a good hole, other people could but I couldn't. We worked on my grip for a while with no improvment in the tear, but an improvement in the grip. He got another idea, he stood behind me and after a few shots, he said that I shoudl try to lengthen my draw. I immediately asked why, he pointed out that with the DL being at 28.5", the cams weren't really tracking right, because of the way I was pushing out with my bow arm. Lengthened it out, I'm definately more comfortable. Now I'm getting PERFECT holes. The draw now measures, 28 7/8ths. No matter what the draw is, I always have the string, at the same place on my face. Don't know why but it's comfortable. At this DL, my arm has a decent bend, and my shoulder is "locked" in. Anyway, here it is. Tell me, other than draw, what should I do.

And as far as Bowhunting section relevance, this helps become a better bowhunter [8D]
In all seriousness, your helper was right. You're on the correct path now, just practice as much as you can and get your brain programmed to do the same thing every time.
