Default Mathews Legacy

I recently purchased a Mathews Legacy. It's currently at a 29" draw. My draw length is 32". Is there anyway I can increase the bow's draw to beyond 30"? I'm looking to upgrade the cam to a SL3-AR cam. Thanks for any information.

well my first question is, are you truely a 32" draw? How were you measured. How tall are you? I couldn't tell you the number of guys that come into the shop I work and say they are a 31" or 32" draw and stand 5' 10". And we measure them using the wingspan method and they really are a 28" draw. I'm not taking any shots just trying to possibly save you some grief and money in the long run.

I'm 6'5" and was measured today. They took my total inches from finger tip to finger tip (79") and compared it to a chart. The guy said I was a 32" which seems to be very hard to find a compatible bow. I wish I would've know this prior to the Legacy purchase. He recommended I purchase a Switchback LD model.

ok yeah being 6' 5" makes sense that you would be 32". And they used the wingspan method which is the better of the ways to measure. Not much you could do to get 32" out of a bow that only goes to 30". A long loop maybe would help some but that would probably only get you to 31" and then thats just a bandaid for the problem.
