They get told this because most everyone that is an "internet" coach is under the impression that if the string is behind the eye, they are long. It's the cool thing to say when someone asks "whats my form look like". [8D]
What really matters is the geometry of that persons form. Where is the back elbow both vertically/horizontally in comparison to the nock? Where is the front shoulder? Is there a solid foundation? Is the head leaned forward or back, preventing one from using back muscles to hold their form?
EXACTLY,I have seen alot of people told they were too long and there wasn't much of a way to tell with the form being demonstrated.I even saw a "coach" tell a guy he was over 2" long on draw and when he got his form right,he was about a 1/2" long.as I had suggested from the beginning.
