I think you DL is maybe a tad too long, but you dont look like your leaning back, so as long as ur comfy i think your good to go.

You look great Southpaw!!!

As for your choice of string colors[:'(]
It was the only string I could find on EBAY that fit my bow...

For your info there are guys right here on this site that make very good strings. Most already have the information as to what size to make them. All you need to do is tell them the bow and the colors you want. You can tell them more, like the material to make them from, what serving material and such---if you know. If you have no idea just leave it up to them.

Gibblet comes to mind with his world-famous Bucknasty strings.
OK, I'll give him a try next time I need new strings.

You are at a point where draw length can be played with to see what works best for you.


IMO,you could go longer but not necessarily the thing for you.The reason I say that is because you APPEAR to be leaning into the string.BUT,with the short a-a,that is probably the only way to hit your anchors.

That isn't saying that what you are doing is bad or that you should go longer,just that playing with the draw length a little in 1/8" to 1/4" increments might tell you what you need to know instead of taking someone else's word for it.


Youdraw length looksgreat,just don't be afraid to experiment a little.

I wouldn't go any longer on theDraw length. Personally I would put a little bend in your Bow arm and possibly even shorten it a tad. It will give you more clearance in a Hunting situation.

Yeah, he could go longer if he wanted to but for now if I were him I would keep it where it is at. It is good to have that pocket between the index finger and the them pressed securely against the cheek bone.

Ipersonally, am comfortable with only my index finger touching my cheek tucked just underneath the ear but the way he is doing it now is the best way.

If your bow arm is bent a little it looks fine. If not may be just a little long for treestand shooting.

Oh yes... Now that is STYLE... Scarlet and Gray strings

BTW you do not want to go any longer on your Dl.
Those are Crimson, genius, not "Scarlet"

Yeah, and draw length looks maxed out.
Anytime red and gray are brought together in such harmony, it screams respect and only means one thing....Go Bucks!
I may have to get mine in purple and gold. GO TIGERS
