nock point and draw length
 

I measured my wingspan to be exactly 71 inches , I then calculated (71-15/2) my draw length to be out to 28 inches.
I installed a 3.5 module on my patriot to get my 28 inches(27.5 draw length bow , plus the loop to make it around 28)
I feel that my bow is still short , I think this might be because I was shooting a longer bow before. When I'm at full draw my loop on the string is about 1/2 behind the corner of my lip , and My arm is bent quite a bit.Compared to Before when I was nocked about 2 inches behind the corner of my lip.

Do you feel that my setup is right for me now , and that I was just shooting a bow that was to long for me before???

thanks nick

It depends if you shoot good with it or not. Being too long is worse than being a little too short. I like to shoot hard off the wall. This is where I get my hair splitting accuracy. It is hard to say if you are too short. I don't shoot a bowtech, so I don't know how long your brace height is, but on shorter brace height bows it is better to be a little short to keep that string away from your arm. Mr. Ragsdale put out a video that explains to have your bow arm in the full draw position as you would have your arm hanging at your side as if you were carrying your bow. I found that this is where I like to have my arm at full draw. It allows me to push through my shot and then in turn gives me a clean follow through. I can custom fit a rope style release or a scott little bitty goose to get the draw exactly where I want it. Hope this helps

I'm 5'9" tall and used to shoot a 30" draw length. I shot this length for years until I went to a bow shop run by a gentleman who shot competively with several state and national titles. This man told me that 30" was entirely too long and told me that you should not lock your left elbow (if a right handed shooter) but keep it slightly "unlocked". He set my bow up for a 28" draw and I never looked back. My accuracy went way up. I did loose a bit of draw weight, about 7 LB, but I'll take the accuracy anyday.
Oh, and to that guy who gave me the advice - thanks Chuck.
