Bowtech "fitting" question
 

I'm not having issues with my bow.....but I'm also cognizant of the fact that I'm probably overdrawn by 1/2" or 1/2"+.

I won't mess with it until after the deer season....but what are my options as an '07 Allegiance owner?

Thanks.

goherd...

Cost?

Have your shop switch out your draw module for a 1/2" shorter one. Takes about a minute to do.

Bowtechs have been running about 1/2 inch long , mathews allso . I dont know why these guys cant deliver what they are suposed to , pearson , and merlin usaly are dead on

RE: Bowtech "fitting" question
 

Well currently if shooting with a loop take it off that'll shorten you up. On a new one just get one that fits?? I don't understand that part of the question. I shoot a 27.5 inch draw.


edit..ah I see the 2007 is your current bow 2008 would be new..Talk with Rick James or Matt/Pa they could probably help you with the modules.

Jeff:

What makes you think you are overdrawn?

I don't have a problem shooting off the string......though I've never tried it. I had honestly thought about it previously....until someone posted "something" to make me change my mind (Rob???).

I'm not "SURE" I'm overdrawn....but I know when I'm at full draw....it comes back further on my face than people give advice about when people ask the forum to critique their form.

I had a 29" Mathews. The shop ordered me a 29" Bowtech. I shoot it fine. I'm just wondering if it could be better???????

RE: Bowtech "fitting" question
 

My shop just swapped them out for no charge. I think most shops do this. For instance I just went from a 28.5" speed mod to a 28" speed mod and he just kept my old ones. I tell you what even being overdrawed by a half inch isn't a good thing. I have been shooting a ton better after I made the switch. And I'm not kidding it took him only a minute or two to change them out. I believe if you want to purchase an extra set of modules and keep your current ones it will run you about $30.00 .

Well the short version of the long reply that just got wiped out..is

Make sure your loop isn't stretching over time..Mine did.. thats why I choose to shoot off the string.

Where the back of the arrow nock is on the string in relation to your face has very little to do with proper draw length, especially on short ATA bows. It kills me to see people talk about this on forums when 99.999999% have never been trained or even worked with a good form coach.

I would question if you can get the tip of your nose on the string, and where your rear elbow is in relation to the nock point, and bow hand. If your rear elbow is pointing down, then you may be overdrawn.If you need to anchor the string on the side of your nose or face, then you may be overdrawn.

So with that said, where is your rear elbow if a picture is taken from the side, and where does the string come to on your nose.....

My second piece of advice is if your are shooting it well right now DO NOT CHANGE A THING. Game day has already come and you need 100% confidence in that rig, changing things now won't help anything.
