Default RE: Same guy....different bows...DL "Opinion"

Jeff you are a better shot than me, and I am no archery coach, so take my opinion as just that - opinion. I've learned strictly by trial and error and these forums.

But I also think the DL looked too short in ALL the pics. I think if you straightened that bow arm you might actually be a tad longer than 29" with the same face anchor points.

I used to have alot of arm bend and I noticed that I got fatigued very quickly because I was using "small muscles". When I straightened my arm out (just shy of completely straight) I found myself much more steady at full draw which made me much more accurate, and I didn't get tired nearly as quickly. It's the "bone on bone" contact that people talk about.

Not only am I more steady with the "straight arm", but I was able to increase my DL up to 29.5" and gain a little speed along with the accuracy I gained.
