Default RE: Overdrawn??

There is alot of merit to what TeeJay says, if you are killing what you shoot at, at the distances you are shooting, and are happy with that, GREAT. Some are bordering on anal trying to tweak every last bit of accuracy and consistency out of the bow. To do this you have to do one and only one thing: take every shot EXACTLY the same. In order to do this, the "text book" form HELPS allow it.

Being overdrawn can mean one of two things (or both), to much weight, or to long of draw length. Adjusting the length by 1/2 inch can make HUGE differences in how the bow feels at full draw.

I think I remember the picture, and there were things to adjust, again to "text book" form, before deciding if the length was right. People look immediately to where you anchor hand lines up or bow arm bends/locked and jump right to length. You need to get the body into proper alignment before playing with the length.

I remember the pic and I'd say your bow's draw length should be shortened up a little so that your bow arm has a slight bend at the elbow .But then again if you straitened out your bow hand that it is in-line with your arm that may add the length you need
