What is your height and what draw are you shooting?????
I'm 5'11 and for the longest time I've been shooting 28 inch draw. I'm now realizing that 27 looks and feels so much better. I've always had draw specific bows:mad: and was never able to tell any difference. Recently I went to a new shop and decided to have someone measure me up and he said 27 looks to be my draw. Sure as sh#t it fit perfect. My anchor was under my ear and it felt great. I'm now in the market for a new bow...:darkbeer:

Height and draw length having nothing to do with each other-------to a point. We are all built different, I've seen customers that are very short but have long arms and I've had customers that are tall but short arms. Fit the bow to the person not any chart.:wink:

Dang, you guys have short draw lengths. I know a few people who are only 5 foot, 6 six inches and maybe 5 foot, 8 inches tall and have 30 inch draw lengths.... Of course you can't tell anything either. :confused:

Could be broad shoulders but I am only 5'10 1/2 and shoot 30" draw. Have had two pro shops check me. Was shooting 31" with fingers.

Thats me. Draw a compound to 30" anchored under my chin, nose on string. Draw a recurve to 31" anchoring corner of mouth, yep, I'm 5'10" and 65 yrs old. :thumbs_up

We sell a Speed Grip that is 1 inch torque free and allows you to increase the bows draw length; shoot faster while keeping your natural draw length the same and gaining 10 to 15 fps. e.g., if you are a 26 dl and add the Speed Grip, adjust your cams or module by an inch, you are now a 27 dl while the bow still fits you as if you were still shooting 26 dl. The Speed grip comes for PSE with the B.E.S.T grip, Mathews Hunting Bows including Ladies Passion and Parker All Adult Bows. It might help the bow fit you better.

You can get additional information on our website at moonarcheryproducts.com

Hope it helps you.

Thanks!! I will look into that. I do have this snakey looking grip thing I got from cabelas on the ss, because it was so cold here late season, I couldn't touch my bow, and I was trying to "warn it up" some. I actually do like the way it cushions the bow in my hand.:embarres::smow::smow::smow:

I'm 6' 1 1/2" tall i measured my wing span at 71" if i divide this by the 2.5 i get 28.4. If i stretch a little i get 72" = 28.8". I was shooting a Hoyt with the Z3 cam at 28.5" measured the draw with a arrow and got 28 7/8" to the burger hole. I do shoot a 1/2" loop.
