Default 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....

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?

Rob I am not sure how you see it as 29, 30, or 31?

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.

Now I have bow in hand and on one side of the cam labeled redline the string is looped around 1.

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!

Man Tony, I wish I would have kept all my manuals and stats sheets from all those years with Hoyts.
