Default Proper draw length - too much bend in arm

I think my draw length was too short. The shop set me up at 29" but my bow arm was bent too much for my comfort. So tonight I changed it to 30" and it felt so much better. I could hold alot steadier on the target and my arrows seemed faster and flatter. Group size shrunk in half too! Pinwheel has my setup now at 275 fps, 532 grain total weight for 89 ft-lbs KE.Man I love tinkering in the off season....

GZQ38b: Dang boy, with that set up you can shoot through concrete walls and any of the big stuff in Africa. Oh to have a 30 inch draw. I'd say your setup is a true killer. Dang 89 foot pounds!!!! Holy mackeral Andy. What a set up.

89 ft-lbs is just what the Pinwheel On Target says. I haven't verified it with the chrono yet. I'm interested to see if that is actually true. I've heard the software is pretty dang close. That's with no peep or kisser button on the string also.
