I was just wondering how many of you guys use overdraws, and if you do: do ya like it, and which one is it. Thanks guys.

I use a PSE overdraw so I can shoot 26" arrows. I love it. It helped my groups a lot and increased my shots by 4-5 fps.

What is an overdraw?? Am i missing out on anything?

An overdraw goes behind the brace on a bow and has an arrow holder on it.

Say you shoot 30" arrows and shooting 26" arrows will increase your speed 5fps faster. Then you would get an overdraw to accomodate 4" to acquire this measurement.

Overdraws are a thing of the past.

With todays bows and carbon arrows - there is no need to deal with ALL the negatives that went with an overdraw.

They will make a bow Much harder to shoot well. Very, very sensitive to any riser torque.

Many of the new fall-aways. the whisker bisq and others have a small overdraw by design - these 1-2" od's are managable - but those old 4-5" od's like I used to shoot years ago are bad news IMO - stay clear of them.

They can gain 15-20 fps - but accuracy will suffer

I remember back in the early 90's when overdraws where the rage. However, I would think they would be really sensitive, as they are shortening your brace height. There is really no need anymore to shoot them.

I agree with rackattack..............overdraws are a thing of the past.

I shoot one on my high country and it shot well.

My Mathews doesn't need an overdraw to shoot the same arrows I shot in the high country.

I also agree with rack-attack, ovrdraws are a thing of the past especially with the new bow technology
