If I have my bow set at 28" with a .5" loop. How long is my draw length? 28" correct?
The bow's DL is still set to 28" but your DL is now 28.5".
If I add a 1" draw loop, how long is my draw. It still is 28"
The bow's DL is still set to 28" but your DL is now 29".

If the bow has a draw stop post and, say, cams for 28" then, after 28", the draw stop post hits the limb. If you now add a 1" d-loop the draw stop post is still going to hit the limb at 28" but you changed your DL to 29" by adding the 1" d-loop. If you now shorten the d-loop by .5" then the draw stop post still hits the limb after the string reaches 28" but your DL has been shortened by a .5".
