Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. I left out the fact that I have very short arms for my height, and only have a 27" draw. I have always shot bows with brace under 7", and have never had any trouble. I may be worrying needlessly, but I still worry about speed, I just hate the idea of giving up power stroke from my current and past setups. As I mentioned in a prior thread, if I do go with a bow with a brace close to 8", I will likely either build a new grip, or use a shim to shoot a longer effective draw. If that doesn't work out, I can always trade out the cam for the shorter draw, and return to the original grip.
