First, let me say thank you for what you do ! I sleep better at night knowing people like yourself are out there makin' it safe.

About overdraws,not really, most bows of lately have the rest positioned in back of the riser and in centerline with the string. Not as short a arrow as before but keep in mind that carbon arrows are much lighter than the logs of the past and much stiffer, and bows are transfering their energy from string to nock like never before ! Check into some of the new models out ther and see the speed they are delivering, amazing to think that just a few years ago we all had to cut down arrows, lighten them up and stress out all the parts on the bow just for a bit more speed.... Now entry level bows are cranking out those old speed demon f.p.s. Look around and try a few, and ask on HNI for help. All here will help...
