mlaubner.....draw length is very important. A properly fit bow for you would come to the corner of your mouth of maybe a 1/2 inch past. Most shops will have bows set at different draw legths. Pull a few back and see what feels comfortable to you. I shoot a 28 to 28 1/2" draw. Like said before dont depend on other peoples opinions on equipment. Ive shot the Q2 and liked it but another bow just suited me better. I really think you should look at more than one brand on bow. IMO every bow company out there makes a good bow. Mathews makes great bows and im sure you would be 100% satisfied with a Q2. The straightline maxcam 2 draw is actually about a half inch longer than what specs say. Fortunatly with my bow i didnt have to worry about draw length because it has 4 inchs of adjustability. This is the most important part of setting your bow up. I cant stress that enough. I would rather have a $100 dollar bow that fit me than a $600 that didnt.
