Like Paul, I have a short draw length--26". At 5'6" my wingspan is 65". Right now I'm shooting a PSE Nova at about 60lbs draw, and I have no idea what my arrow speed is...if I were to guess I'd say just over 200 fps (with some heavy XX75 2117's).

I'm hoping to have a Mighty Mite here this week as well, and I will have it maxed out at 70+ lbs to pick up all the arrow speed possible with my short draw. Like Paul said though, you should'nt have any trouble harvesting deer with a 25.5 draw at 60lbs. It's a matter of getting them withing a reasonable distance and making a good clean shot, and having a properly tuned bow.
