I agree with all the advice you have received here. My own testimony is - I was getting string slap for years and wore an arm guard and declared that my draw length was perfect but after reading some posts here on the board I decided to try shortening my draw length by 1" . What a difference! I don' t get string slap at all, I shoot much better, I flinch much less, and for the first time the bow ' feels right' . Good luck.
