New bow, hows my draw length?
 

Got my new bow today, and I took Tfox's advice and got it 1/2" longer than my last one. Hows it look? I'm aiming slightly low, because of the height of my ceiling here in the basement.

That looks more thana 1/2" from the last picture you posted with the Hoyt.Specs on one of the bows is probably off a little.Form looks solid but a 1/4" shorter probably wouldn't hurt.Might have to try a 1/2" shorter module and shoot a little longer loop,that is what I have had to do.You also have a different a-a bow which gives it a more extreme string angle,which means you might need a little shorter draw to hit the anchors.

There is no doubt you can shoot that where it is accurately though.Just try to rotate the forearm a little more.


I did tell you that you could go longer but I didn't know you were getting a new bow,I said you could go longer on the other bow.;)

luckily, this bow is module adjustable, and the cams arent as limited at the cam and a half I was shooting. I need to play with the draw stop, because I prefer to shoot 65% let off, and its currently at 80%, so I would think that would eliminate a half inch of draw or so.

Let me mess with the stop really quick and post a picture.

That sounds PERFECT,the letoff should do the trick.

That is what I have always liked about adjustable letoff bows,they have slight adjustments to get the draw perfect.

RE: New bow, hows my draw length?
 

here it is with the let off set at 70%.

That LOOKS better,now it is time to shoot and find out if that is right for you.Luckily you have room to play.You might want to try another 1/4" shorter to see if it works better for you.

Try the different settings and maybe even get a shorter module and try the longer loop stuff,you will be surprised that little adjustments here or there mean alot.

It is up to you now.:)

I'll have to wait until morning to get some serious shooting in. I have a lighted range, but its only about 15 yards, and I'd like to see how I'm doing at longer ranges. It does feel alot better than the hoyt, It feels like I can stretch out and relax now.

RE: New bow, hows my draw length?
 

You look more relaxed and that alone should equate to better shooting.

Was the draw maxed out on the Hoyt?

RE: New bow, hows my draw length?
 

yes, it was. Including let off, and a 3/4" loop.

RE: New bow, hows my draw length?
 

I don't like the feel of the cam 1/2 maxed out,I like it 1/2' to 1" off of maxed out.Very aggresive when setmaxed out.You will like this new setup better imo.

way to relax the elbow !

RE: New bow, hows my draw length?
 

Watch that trigger finger! Keep it behind the trigger when you don't have the bow pointed at a target. That sliding glass door would be expensive to replace! Better safe than sorry!

Maybe just a hair too long as the arrow nock is slightly behind your eye (vertically), but the rest of your body looks to be in decent alignment. I think I'd go with what you have for a while to let your mind and body adjust to the new length. Possibly shorten up a tad later on and see if your aim is more solid.

TFOX has you going in the right direction.

How does your new General draw and shoot?
