I totally agree Germ. I hear a lot of people saying to get a friend to check for you while you draw or to use a hook and pull your bow down to check cam timing/synch. You can't go wrong with a drawboard though. It takes all the guesswork out of it. Its also nice to have for measuring draw length. Costs about $35 or so. The winch was the most expensive part of the project.

I still have a few minor details to work out on mine. Its hard to see in the pic but I have a sock on the pipe flange protecting my bow from scratches. I'm also going to attach yardstick to the board permanently for DL.
