almost all beginning archers are shooting a bow with too long a draw length. for those of us with a short dl, it's very difficult to find a bow with a dl that fits us. for a couple of years, I thought that my dl was 27", even with imput from two experienced pro's. just recently, i had a chance to go to a weekend with one of the top competition pro's in the country and he changed my dl to 26 1/4". I was amazed at the difference in my consistancy and accuracy. a rule of thumb for release shooters is that at full draw, with your nose on the string, the nock should be at the corner of your mouth. there are several factors that will change this a little, but it is a good starting point.

good luck
