My draw length is 31in. I am 6 foot 7 inches tall, My archery guru set me up with a sweet Drenalin LD and I love it!!! Sucks to have such a long draw can't shoot the shorter bows, my LD smokes, the arrows leave vapor trails.

RE: Whats your draw length?
why would you want to shorten it, you get more speed at higher draws?
1. I believe I was slightly overdrawing for a few years
2. When shooting 3D and if getting tired during the last few targets I found myself creeping. That told me that my bow was set up incorrectly for draw length because my form was not good.
3. False sense of comfort at 30", shortening a 1/2" made me relaxed and comfy.
4. At my former draw length I was not always at a good hard stop at full draw, if that makes any sense.
5. After many years of shooting I contracted target panic and fought it off and on for several years. I feel my former draw contributed to me acquiring it. TP is now a thing of the past for me and I believe shortening my draw played a tiny part in the process of fighting through and ending it
.6. In some shooting situations, especially in a treestand at certain angles I found myself not locked in at full draw. To draw back at the bow's set draw length I was having to reach for a little more.....not good.

Several reasons I shortened my draw 1/2".
1. I believe I was slightly overdrawing for a few years
2. When shooting 3D and if getting tired during the last few targets I found myself creeping. That told me that my bow was set up incorrectly for draw length because my form was not good.
3. False sense of comfort at 30", shortening a 1/2" made me relaxed and comfy.
4. At my former draw length I was not always at a good hard stop at full draw, if that makes any sense.
