RE: To Long of a Draw Length
Or maybe his shop actually knows what they are talking about and doesn't want to see him with too short of a draw length. It's kind of hard to say without actually seeing it. It doesn't sound excessively long to me. It just feels odd because it is not where it used to be. It will take some getting used to. Where did you anchor to before just out of curiousity? That is pretty much how I anchor acually a bit behind that. That gives you a very good repeatable anchor point if put your knuckle right into the back of your jaw bone. I anchor right under my ear now.
It would be really hard to tell without seeing the rest of your form. If your arm is really extended and you are all stretched out, then it may be a bit long. If you can use this anchor point and still have a slightly bent arm or have relaxed form I would say stick with it. If you were anchoring somewhere behind your head, like you could hook your thumb behind your neck or had no anchor on you face I would say it was too long. Yours doesn't sound that way. Maybe you should go to another shop and ask them to take a look at your form. Don't just insist that it's too long and you want it changed. Tell them exactly what happened and ask thier opinion.
Yes the customer is usually right, but not at the expense of letting them leave with bad form or an ill fitting set up. It would reflect bad on your shop in the long run. Too short of a draw can be just as problematic as too long of a draw. However if you can't get used to it, go back and ask them to shorten it, whether they think it looks right or not. I am sure they will change it if you insist.
Also, did they check to see if your string stretched? If it stretched enough for your draw length to change that much it would be out of tune and should be fixed.
