I actually have the same problem with my draw length. I have a 26 inch draw, but can pull 60 to 65 lbs fairly easy now. But when I first started 55 was pretty hard for me. Rarely will I find a bow that fits me to test. I usually have to shoot one with a longer draw. I do have a mathews dealer close to me that swaped out the cams for me once to make it better, I thought that was nice. It is actually getting harder to find shops that will let you even shoot a bow, let a lone one that fits you. I guess to many people are using them to shop around and then buying off the internet.

It never really bothered me testing a bow with to long of a draw. The only thing I am really looking at is how the bow draws, how it feels in my hand, and what it feel like when I shoot it. So if I shoot one that I like and it is a couple three inches too long for me, it will only be that much better when it is the proper length. I would be scared to go the other way though. I have shot some bows that were very different at long draw lengths and higher poundages than they were at a lower setting.

As far as being left handed, I don't see why you could not shoot a right handed bow just to see how it shot. The only thing you would not get is how the grip felt in your hand.

I guess being little sucks sometimes, but being little and left handed is a real pain(me) but I shoot right handed thank the Lord. I have trained myself to be ambidextrious at almost everything any way.
