RE: Advice sought for shot draw
I shot at least 150-200 hundred arrows Saturday...even at the end I could draw the bow back an inch at a time with my pin on the sight. So at 70lbs I'm not overbowed.
Everything you said sounds correct, but I think you're looking at one of the older pictures on the first bow. On the later pictures with the Mighty Mite the draw is at 27" with no string loop and feel's great. It still might seem long to some, though I'm shooting accurately and I'd hate to drop off any more speed going down another inch in draw. Since the last pictures I've also shortened the release up about another 1/2" so that the trigger is "deeper" into my index finger.
My grip is still not the best, but I'm working on it. When I used the grip you describe on my last bow (28" draw, 1" string loop), my shooting when downhill BAD. With the Mighty Mite it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
