Yeah Hoyts draws seem to be quite a bit closer than anyone else. Iveowned two BT's recently and the draws were 29.5. when i got my alphamax, i had to bump the draw up to 30" b/c 29.5 felt too short.
BTW, ive heard the GT500 is a hair slow for its IBO (not bashing at all, just fillin ya in) soi would expect 285-290. I know my 101st airborne with a 400gr. arrow shot about 285, and its ibo was 340ish, so you should be right in that range. Plenty fast though regardless. When are you gonna bring the GT500 here to KY so I can shoot it
