draw length
 
I just bought a samic sage and the bow has a 28 inch draw length but I have a 29 inch draw is this alright or will it cause me problems

It'll be alright. The only thing you have to deal with concerning your 29" draw length is this. For very inch past 28", you'll be adding 2#-3# per inch of additional weight once you reach your anchor point.

As an example. If the bow is marked 45# @ 28", at 29", the bow will be somewhere between 47#-48#.

The Sage will handle the extra inch just fine--I draw them to 30+. Like NW said, you'll just pick up a little extra poundage.

Add a string loop..Attachment 20217
That will take up a 1/2" I don't agree with over drawing any bow..

will be fine
i took 2" off my draw,
bow is alot more comfortable for me at less than recommended draw length,
its a matter of personal preferance
also if its a high poundage bow, much easier to draw shorter draw
at your max draw, your at the limits of your arm/back muscles

Traditional bows, unless custom made for a particular draw length, are normally rated at a 28" draw. That doesn't mean that pulling them a little past that is overdrawing them--28" is just the industry standard for marking the poundage.

String loops don't normally go too well with traditional bows........
