Default RE: Tall guy.....short ATA bow....???

I personally don't shoot my best with them for the reasons Arthur talked about. Also, it is hard for me to retain back tension and hit my secondary reference points on the draw. I do have a 34" bow that I put together, and shoot regularly. Instead using the kisser button in a conventional position, I set it to touch my nose for a little less draw length. With a shorter bow, it seems like I am either pulling too far back to have the string touch my nose, or leaning forward with my head to touch the string that way. I have about quit using a peep sight, so that is not a problem with the style I have described. I am just more comfortable at full draw with a longer bow.

I have seen Frank (PABowntr) shoot a few times, and he appears perfectly natural shooting the short bows. He would be a good guy to ask how he does it.
