Draw Length HELP
 

Ok I own a 1999 Hoyt Magnatec redline HL, Well I was doing some research and found this"
http://www.hoyt.com/customer_service/hoyt_tune_charts.php?page=99_magnatec.php

For the redline HL with 93 string length and 34 buss cable the max draw I can have is 27.
I looked at my bow and on the cam highest number is 3 which is 27.
My damn draw length is 29 and all these years ive been way off. I actually had him shorten it 2 years ago
because I thought it was to long but it turns out not even close. (Pro Shop)
Am I correct by reading the link above?

It shows 28 inches is the longest DL you can have with those strings and cables.... Are you sure your bow only has 3 pegs rather than 4 to adjust your DL? Either way even if it did, if your DL is 29 it is still an inch short.

It was very obvious as we talked about at the GTG that your DL was way short....

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Tony if I read your post right and the link provide right you saying 3 is 27" draw but I read the link as 3 is for 29, 30 or 31 depending on your module.

Are you saying your a 27" draw or the bow is a 27" draw you it should be a 29" to fit you?

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

I am 29 DL but my cam is set at #3 and that link show #3 as 27. I dont see a #4 on my bow.
Rob I am not sure how you see it as 29, 30, or 31?
Yeah buckeye that is why I started investigating and I do thank you much.

I'm not seeing that, when I click the link and then choose 99 Magnatech, a different window opens.

LOL, now I see, I didn't scroll down, I opened another window by choose 99 year and the Magnatech for model. My bad.

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

LOL Its all good buddy.
Now I have bow in hand and on one side of the cam labeled redline the string is looped around 1.
If I turn the bow over its looped around 3 all the same peg.
I am going to try and post a pic, brb

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Did you try to measure to see what the actual draw length of the bow is?

Regardless of charts, etc. It is what it is!;)

RE: Draw Length HELP

She can get a close measurement while you are at full draw if she is pretty handy with a tape. Measure anchored string to throat of grip and add 1.75"

:)

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

According to the wife it was 25 5/8 from the grip *see pic* to the string. I do use a D loop which is 5/8 from the string.
So it comes out to 26 1/4.[:@] I am going to the shop today to nip this.

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Did Kevin call you? I think it's time to get a Katera and give the bow to your son;)

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Yeah he PM'd me and was going to talk to a buddy about a module. Ive been having him change it also for years.[:@]
I want it right, thats the computer nerd in me.:D

Forgot the 1.75 so it comes out to 27 on the dot.

Off to the pro shop.

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Alright back from the shop and he got me up to 28" DL and with the D loop I feel much better.

T

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Tony what DL did they measure you at?The loop will only give you a further back anchor point it will not change your DL.Seeing that you are taller than me I would say you probably need to be 29-30".I am still checking on the mods for you but I know he will need to know what DL you actually need.

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

It was at 27, when I measure my wing span I am at 28.8. The shop got it up to 28

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

I shoot a 28.5 DL.I can let you try my bow and see how that works for you.Did you use this method to check your DL?

RE: Draw Length HELP
 

Yeah that is the site I used to get an estimate.
72/2.5 came out to 28.8 so I am off by .8 now.
