Default RE: Draw length vs. Axle length?

I' ve got a draw length that' s just a half inch longer than BobCo' s. I don' t have a Pinnochio nose either. At 33 1/2" draw, you don' t go longer on draw length. It' s a bad idea anyway.

When I go to a bow that' s much under 40" , I lose all secondary reference points and have to rely totally on my primary references - a solid, consistent anchor and the peep sight. I do shoot well without those secondary references though.

Bending the head forward is as much a no-no as stretching the draw length out. It plays havoc with your form, cuts down your visibilty and strains the eye, neck and back muscles. The way I see it, just maintain your good head position and just accept that you can' t touch that string with your nose any more. Concentrate on hitting your anchor exactly the same way each time.
