All very true, for you guys with average or longer arms, LOL! I'm the runt of the family, so any draw over 26.5" throws my form into a cocked hat. Having tried tied-on string loops, just thought I'd try out this version since I had it laying around, but it showed the same problems I'd had before. Right now, the loop disadvantages outweigh the advantages for little old me, oh well. Interestingly, I'm not having much of a hassle with the Phoenix set as it is at 28", but I'll experiment more with it in future. Things are a bit confused here with other issues going on, as you know. _________________ "For I have drawn Judah taut and applied [My hand] to Ephraim as to a bow."

Steve, if could offer you any advice it would be to make sure that your draw length is correct, if you recon your draw should be 26.5" then do it , I suffer from the same problem of having short arms too.... but for correct from and not tiring so quickly having the draw right is critical Bro

Oh I agree, Steve. Unfortunately, I'm trying to juggle six things at once, so a detailed tune isn't in the cards until the "move" is somewhat over. Until then, a little spare time at the target bag is all I can manage. I'd much rather be putting holes in paper or taking the bow apart to learn its personality, rather than chucking boxes between homes or driving all over the county, but them's the realities at the moment. At least my arm and shoulder are coming back, which I'm thankful for. _________________ "For I have drawn Judah taut and applied [My hand] to Ephraim as to a bow."
