Just my opinion as an archer for over 30 years, If you can’t make a solid and comfortable shot from all 3 positions, you need to shoot more. A “just right” draw length doesn’t exist and can change from one day to the next with something as simple as a stiff muscle. As can posture, regardless of how hard we try to do everything the same from one shot to the next. You also have to keep in mind that your bow string is stretching a little more with every few shots. so unless you’re a guy that restrings every couple of months, it’s all only as good as a ballpark measurement. I personally do a tad short on the draw length knowing it will grow as the string is broke in. Bow shops specifically over complicate archery now so you feel dependent on them and their techs to setup your bow to what they would call “perfect” The Comanche were arguing some of the best archers in recent history. Do you really think they cared about perfect draw length, hand shock, tiller or any of the other stuff we talk about today? No, they made a bow, decided it shoots a certain way and learned how to shoot that specific bow. This made them versatile shooters with the ability to shoot any bow in battle.
I’m shooting 27” right now and it feels barely too long. Is there a way to shorten it just a little with dropping to 26.5” mods? Because I feel like then I might be too short
Hey Josh, I bought a new hamskea Everest last weekend and had my local pro shop put it on and tune everything up. Shoots good and is not off but the arrow is scrapping the blade causing a lot of wear. What causes this? Timing possibly? I have ordered a new launcher blade to replace the other.
MFJJ literally teaching me to shoot.
Could even see front shoulder cramped at a short dl and your reaching fir the grip on the long, good job mowhawk locks.
I see the 28.5" draw length as the proper one. You're in perfect alignment.
I always thought you were my spirit guide but it is now confirmed since we have the same draw length.
Dude, awesome shot to literally show what works. I need to set my camera up above me somehow.

Love your work. Thanks !
This is a video I have been trying to film for a long time, but have no way to get a camera positioned high enough. Now there is this.
Shelf? Ladder?
Bros got a 2/3rds Mohawk cause the 1/3 receding hair line
I got humbled with my trex arms when i found my draw length on recurve was around 28inch but im just under 6ft
If you're over 27, get rid of the old school Mohawk, looks like you're trying to capture your youth

Untwisting either the string or the cables, cables is better it doesn't mess with your peep.
