Does the loop on your string effect draw length?
#121
I will use Tony's pic to explain why the loop not only affects anchors but draw length as well.In the pic you can see he clearly has a SOLID foundation and great form.(Everyone can learn from it)His primary anchor(release hand) is solid against his face and his draw elbow is perfect.THIS IS THE PRIMARY.
Many are judging by SECONDARY anchors,which are subjective.Most prefer tip of the nose and corner of the mouth,as do I.
For Tony to maintain his PRIMARY anchor which helps determine his foundation and body alignment and change his secondary anchors to the tip of the nose and corner of his mouth TWO things have to happen.He would have to first,shorten the draw length of the bow and then lengthen the loop.(he could lower his anchor as well but that affects the primary.He may end up having adjust it in the end as well if he were to go to the tip of the nose.
SO,from this it has to be determined that the loop length affects the draw length of the bow.Longer loop,shorter bow draw length.
Of course he has chosen different secondary anchors for whatever reason.I actually like what he is doing and can see how it is extremely comfortable and repeatable(the coach I have referred to uses basically the same)It also allows for a longer draw length and gives him greater speeds for 3-d.

This is where we disagree and it might be a matter of opinion.I have shot 2 different loop lengths with 2 different draw length settings on the bow and both are correct for me dependant upon what kind of shooting I want to do.
This is interesting.

I would have to say that is why Tony shoots with his secondary anchors back on his face rather than on his nose and corner of his mouth.It is his preference.

Can we narrow this down (for the sake of this discussion) to one setup? Do you agree (and based on your setups, I'd say you'd have to) that there is ONE optimal setup for each style of shooting you do?
I agree with that.

Drock....There are no exceptions. He knows it...and no he didn't answer (and again... I wouldn't, either....riding that horse).
He wants to cite different setups as "exceptions" (different setups for different target tactics). That's just bs. It's an "out".
One archer. One setup. One release aid. One Bow. Correct form. It ain't that hard.
Why keep the madness going? The madness would be over.....if I could get a straight answer.
